Minimum Wages Act

Minimum wage act is the body of law which prohibits employers from hiring employees or workers for less than a given hourly, daily or monthly minimum wage.

New Zealand  was the first country to implement a national minimum wage, enacted by its government through the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act 1894.
There are three minimum wage rates:
1) Adult
2) Youth (New entrants)
3) Training

From 1 April 2010, the minimum wage for employees aged 16 years and over is $12.75 an hour before tax.  

Below graph shows changes in minimum wage for Adult and Youth over last 13 years.
