  • So, They've Raised Minimum Wage in Ontario

    Hope this is in the right place...

    The current minimum is $10.25 an hour. I make an extra .50 per because I work the midnight shift. Clearly, as of June 1 it will go up to the new rate of $11.00 at the least. If the same pattern is followed I should get $11.50 per hour.

    While the increase is not what the "poverty people" wanted (they thought $14 an hour was reasonable) the only thing I can think about is that if my boss is forced to pay everyone more per hour that the hours will get cut.

    Has anyone here been through this? Has it helped your economy? Did people get laid off, hours cut?

    It's going to be interesting over the next few months.
    The customer is always right until I decide he isn't.

    It's been our experience that discussions about minimum wage and related topics seldom end well. Please feel free to broach the subject over at our sister site, www.fratching.com

    Thanks!
