the company are obliged to pay you the minimum statutory pay which is paid by the govenment and then they top up their contribution. if they pay above and beyond the set requirement then i guess its at their discretion and in accordance with your contract what they pay you.
this is how i've always understood it to be anyway. try the government website, good luck!
