Jersey's government has been asked to increase the island's minimum wage by 21 pence, to £7.18 per hour.
The Employment Forum has put forward the recommendation - the highest increase suggested in eight years - to be considered by the Social Security Minister.
£7.18 is the new hourly rate being suggested for Jersey's minimum wage.
If approved, it will mean anyone over 16 currently earning the minimum wage will see their pay increase by 3% from 1st April 2017.
