This increase of 3.28%, higher than the anticipated inflation for the 2024-2025 financial year, which is 2.3%, will benefit 200,700 employees, including 111,200 women. These employees will benefit from an increase in their disposable income of up to $691.00 per year.
An increase of 3.28% will also be made to the minimum wage payable to tipped employees, which will increase to $12.60 per hour. The same increase will be applied to employees assigned exclusively, during a pay period, to picking raspberries or strawberries. The minimum wage payable will therefore increase to $4.68 per kilogram for raspberry pickers and $1.25 per kilogram for strawberry pickers.
Remember that, in recent years, government policy on the minimum wage has aimed to achieve a ratio of 50% between this salary and the average hourly wage. The ratio will reach 50.8% with this new increase.
