What is the minimum wage for a 19YO in the UK? and how many breaks am I allowed?

I started work yesterday at 8.30am and worked through till 1.30am the following morning. I'm a floor sander so it's pretty hard work, my boss told me I'd get ￡100 for it which works out at ￡5.88 an hour.

I think that's above the minimum wage but shouldn't I be getting a higher rate because I'm working a longer shift which gotes through till the early hours of the morning? Or is that just a courtesy thing that companys offer.
Also I only got 2 breaks for something to eat: about 20mins at 12.30pm and 30mins at 9.30pm
and 3 cigarrette breaks throughout which my boss was moaning at me to get back to work.

Thanks

No legal rates for working through the night, but I think those sort of shifts are breaking the working time regulations. You are entitled to a 20 minute break every 6 hours. You are lucky you are getting cigarette breaks as people who do not smoke get less break time than you. If its the only job around and you are happy with it, don't rock the boat.

Minimum wage is ￡4.77 per hour..
You are entitled to a break in something like a 6 hour shift..not sure how long..You should go to www.dwp and check this properly.

Is that ￡100 clear in your hand before or after tax?
The minimum wage for 18-21yrs is ￡4.77 per hr,and ￡5.73 for 22yrs +.
You may be entitled to over-time,but you would have to negotiate with your boss.It usually works out at time and a half per hour for evening,double time for Saturdays and treble time for Sundays.
If you work more than 6hrs in one go,you are entitled to a 20 min break.There's no law allowing for 'cig breaks' i'm afraid.
Also,if you finished at 1.30am then you are not meant to start work until 12.30am.There has to be an 11hr break before you are ready to start work again.
Best thing to do is to have a quiet word with your boss,ask him about over time rates etc.
