No its £4.25

And yes, they have to pay minimum wage, that's the point of it

It's not the £5.20 that you're thinking of and have probably seen flouted on the news. Thats for over 21's or something like that. Just remember 16-18 year old's get screwed over even moreso

A development rate of £4.25 per hour for
workers aged 18 - 21 years inclusive

again from googling "national minimum wage"

* £5.05 per hour for workers aged 22 years and older
* A development rate of £4.25 per hour for
o workers aged 18 - 21 years inclusive
o workers aged 22 years and above, starting a new job with a new employer and doing accredited training*
* 3.00 per hour which applies to all workers under the age of 18 who are no longer of compulsory school age**. This rate remains unchanged from the rate in force in the period 1st October 2004 to 30th September 2005.

and again

Q. What am I entitled to?

A.
