UK minimum wage 2026: Statutory Employment Terms

Every row is a verbatim sentence read from the named source's own page through our fetch service on the date shown, hash-pinned to the stored read (the sha of the page's visible text; the raw page is mirrored to R2).

3 of the 11 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 8 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 3 could not be read (blocked, dead or unreachable) and count nowhere.

The headline figures (median, minimum, maximum, quartiles) are over ONE figure per source for each breakdown it prices, in USD (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences for one breakdown), so a page that gives figures for several breakdowns gives one for each and N counts 3 figures, never sentences; 24 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded.

24 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
