Calculate the number of hours worked, using the right method depending on the type of work, then divide the gross pay received by the number of hours worked to check that no worker is paid less than the minimum wage; If any worker is found to be being paid less than the minimum wage, pay any arrears due to them immediately using the correct formula and increase the worker&#8217;s pay to the minimum wage level or higher;
