British Companies Have Adjusted Their Pay Policies.
Since April 1st this year, the UK has officially implemented a minimum wage of 7.2 pounds per year for employees aged 25 or above.
In order to achieve this regulation, British enterprises have adjusted their remuneration policies. Many of them have been found to be able to offset the pressure on earnings from the general wage increase of basic salaries by drilling loopholes.

Retailer Marks&Spencer Group PLC (MKS.L) Marsha general store M&S has also been criticized for reducing wages in disguised form for some employees.
M&S Martha's Department announced last month that it plans to increase the hourly wage of 69 thousand sales staff from 15% to 8.5 pounds in April 2017, but in order to avoid overloading the cost, about 10% of sales staff will be cut off on Sunday and overtime, and the extra pay for statutory holidays will also be lowered.
For a considerable proportion of employees were reduced wages in disguised form, M&S Marsha

Explain that all affected employees will receive a one-time compensation to ensure that they are financially unaffected after the first two years of adjustment, and that the new pay system gives employees one of the highest hourly salaries of British Retail peers, who also enjoy the best welfare package.
A group spokesman said, "I believe this is a fair and lasting way to repay employees, not only will it simplify."

It is also more suited to the needs of modernization and helps the group to attract and retain the most capable talents.
However, the practice of M&S Marsha general store was bombarded by Labour Party member Siobhain Mc Donagh. She pointed out that the 11 thousand most loyal employees of M&S Marsha will face serious pay cuts, many of whom have served the retailer for more than 14 years, and some of them will receive less than 2000 pounds a year.
However, M&S Marsha is not an example, including TescoPLC, TSCO.L, Tesco, Morrisons, B&QPLC B&Q and other major British retailers, who have been protested by the reduction of holiday pay, and chain store JohnLewis has been closed down by several staff restaurants from food subsidies.
NextPLC, the main rival of M&S Martha's Department, decided last year to lay off layoffs for the new minimum wage policy.
The group said in September last year that it had gradually shifted from a large number of employees' short-term work to reducing the number of employees and increasing working hours, which meant that the workforce would become "less, better paid, well-trained and more experienced".
NextPLC expects that the cost of the current fiscal year 2017 will increase by 2 million pounds due to the rise in the minimum wage, but this figure will reach 27 million by 2020.
In order to offset the rise in manpower costs, NextPLC will increase its annual price by 1% in the next 4 years. The Group expects that the price increase will have little impact on the business, and the total increase will be 6% by 2020.
