Another pay bump is on the horizon for BC’s lowest-paid workers.
On Saturday, the minimum wage will increase to $17.40 an hour from 16.75. According to the province, the hike will assist 240-thousand workers in our province.
The nearly 4% spike also applies to minimum-wage rates for residential caretakers, live-in home support workers and camp leaders.
Agricultural piece rates increased on December 31st to ensure crop producers will not have to adjust wages in the middle of harvesting season.
