Welcome,

Thank you for participating in our survey, organised by the Association of Cycle Traders (ACT) in association with the Independent Retailers Confederation (IRC).

We are seeking to understand your views on the current and future National Living/Minimum Wage rates.

Results from the survey will help inform the employment policy work we undertake as a leading member of the IRC, representing over 100,000 Indie Retailers across the UK.

Retailers are urged to take part to create an accurate representation of the real-life effects of wage increases on independent shops.

All responses to this survey will be kept confidential, no information will be attributed to you/your business.

For further information, please contact Tabitha Walker via email (tabitha.walker@actsmart.biz).

There will be a slight impact on my wage costs, by ensuring colleagues aged 21+ are paid at least the NLW

There will be a significant impact on my wage costs, by adjusting pay for a wider range of colleagues

There will be no impact, as colleagues aged 21 and above are already paid at least the NLW

I do not employ colleagues aged 21 or above
