Minimum Wage Act 1983, s 8
If you have a disability that significantly affects your job performance, a labour inspector can issue an exemption permit allowing your employer to pay you less than the minimum wage. The inspector must be satisfied that this is reasonable and appropriate. Your wage rate will be stated in the exemption permit, and the rate must relate to your ability to do the job. For more details, see the chapter “Disability rights”, under “Your pay and the minimum wage laws”.
For information on how to contact labour inspectors, see “Where to go for more support” at the end of this chapter.
