That isn't really good money at all the job must be bad for that amount though that money isn't far from what people get paid who are on the dole.

Here are the minimum wages, go off the rate on 2013 as it is the same for this year.

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

You are getting 80 for 30 hours.
80 divided by 30 is 2.66' an hour.
Therefore you are on under the minimum wage for your age, however it is still money and any money is good at your age.

Based on UK GBP as you have not stated what currency you earn in,

Judging by the word Pound, im guessing you're in the UK.

the lowest minimum wage in the UK is 2.68 for an Apprentice, and for 30 hours, you would get 80.04 GBP.

So if it's an apprentice, that's not bad money, if it isn't then for 30 hours a week a 16 year old should be earning at least "111 GBP" on 30 hrs a week. (3.72 minimum wage)

That sucks. In America you can get a job at Mcdonalds at 14 and get $7.25 and hour. I`m 15 and work there. I know pounds are worth more than dollars, but everyone should be payed the same.

Also it's illegal if they employ you and pay you under the minimum wage! So be careful.
