He is doing a normal 4 year apprenticeship and is earning under £6 an hour. He specifically agreed to this before starting and wouldn't have got the job otherwise. (we were looking for normal apprentices at the time)
Most people couldn't afford to be on apprentice wages at that age.

But £6 an hour is less than the minimum wage required by law !
