'The world's highest minimum wage' will be rolled out in Geneva which means you'll be paid at least £41,430 if you are one of its lucky residents.

Workers in the Swiss city will receive a salary of at least £3,500 a month after a referendum saw two-thirds of its 500,000 voters back the new measure.

The new policy will come into effect from October 17, The Telegraph reports. It was previously rejected by voters twice before in both 2011 and 2014.
