Minimum Wage in Canada

Minimum Wage in Canada

The 'minimum wage' in Canada is set forth by 'Employment Standards Regulation'.  This document states that for example, in the province of Alberta, the 'minimum wage' is;

- hourly minimum wage of $9.95 for most employees,

- hourly minimum wage of $9.05 for employees serving liquor,

I have attached some useful links and documents to support all the figures, these are below:

Do you feel that an increase is warranted for the 'minimum wage'?

I will write another blog in the future, as I am interested to know which province in Canada has the 'highest' 'minimum wage' currently. 

To be continued. 

Thank you,
