The DTI has launched 'TIGER' (Tailored Interactive Guidance on Employment Rights) at www.tiger.gov.uk

The site contains interactive and easy to use information on the national minimum wage, including a detailed yet accessible analysis of people to whom the minimum wage applies, and a 'ready-reckoner' for calculating whether employees are receiving the minimum wage.

The site asks users to state whether they are employers or employees, and guides them down a series of easily understood questions to the information they seek.

It is anticipated that the website will be expanded over time to deal with all aspects of employment rights.
