What are these? Delicious Digg Reddit Facebook StumbleUpon - 3. Please can you help me to understand the pay structure. I'm 24, on training squad and have worked at a franchised restaurant for 6 years. A poster in the crew room states that minimum wage from october 2011 is £6.08 plus an extra 35p if on training squad. Are these figures correct and if so does this mean i should be on at least £6.43? If possible could you send me the pay structure for someone in my position for 2009-2011. Thank you
