Workers could be paid using two different minimum wage scales - time rates (i.e. a standard sum per hour) or piece rates (i.e. for the number of items worked). The Trade Board assessed the standard working week to be 48 hours, with a maximum of 5 hours to be normally worked on Saturdays.

Time rates often varied according to age and experience. When this was the case, workers under those ages were subject to lower minimum rates of pay.
