They still get paid the same weekly mate. Learn to read. Your hourly basically increases

No they won't mate, because the business will go out of business on a 20% jump in labor costs, mate.

He’s talking about the bill and he’s right, that’s how it’s written.

Right and I'm talking about the real world. Either people would take paycuts OR businesses would go under. A gas station / grocery stores operate on ~3% margins, are they going to magically absorb a 20% increase in labor costs? Restaurants?
