Minimum wage and benefit levels get a boost on Thursday as part of a package of changes coming into effect from April 1. Those on the minimum wage get a pay bump to $20 an hour - an increase many employers say is too much and badly timed. The main benefit and superannuation levels also rise, as well as the amount people can earn before their benefit reduces. But poverty advocates are equally unimpressed, saying the changes will barely help people keep afloat. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said the minimum wage increase struck a balance . Our job as Government is to constantly strike that balance of ensuring that our lowest-paid workers are earning enough to meet their cost of living and to thrive. At the same time balancing that against the ability of employers to sustainably keep people on.
