Ontario’s minimum wage is set to rise to $16.55 an hour on Oct. 1. It marks a 6.8 per cent boost from the current rate of $15.50 an hour, an increase tied to inflation. The government says the increase means someone making minimum wage and working 40 hours per week would see their pay increase by nearly $2,200 per year. Labour advocates and opposition critics have said Ontario should introduce a $20 minimum wage. |
