             Almost all individuals who are workers in the UK are entitled to the NMW. The exceptions if you are doing work experience are:

• your work experience placement does not exceed one year
  
  

However, this exemption does not cover you if you:

• take on gap year work (so long as you are above compulsory school leaving age)
  
• take on work or work experience which is not part of your course
  
  

Compulsory school age

If you are of compulsory school age and do work experience you are not entitled to the NMW.

                      **Voluntary workers**

• a charity
  
• a voluntary organisation
  
• an associated fund raising body

In addition under the terms of your employment you are not entitled to:

• any monetary payments other than for expenses incurred, or likely to be incurred, to enable you to perform your duties
  
• any benefits in kind other than for subsistence or reasonable accommodation
