Ontarians making minimum wage will start to see their paycheques grow in October.
The province's latest increase to the minimum wage comes into effect on Thursday, October 1. The increase, which was announced earlier this year, will see the minimum wage increase from $11 per hour to $11.25 per hour.
“We have taken the politics out of increases to the minimum wage by tying raises to inflation," says Labour Minister Kevin Flynn. "This helps some of the province’s most vulnerable workers cope with increases to their cost of living while providing predictability for businesses to plan for payroll changes."
Servers of alcohol will see their minimum wage increase from $9.55 per hour to $9.80 per hour. The minimum wage for students will rise from $10.30 per hour to $10.55 per hour.
