The Ford government is announcing another increase to the minimum wage.
It will be going up $0.50 to $15.50 on October 1 2022, a move that’s tied to inflation.
This follows the government hiking it to $15 this January after initially cancelling plans to bring it to $15 when it took office in 2018.
This increase is pegged to the rate of inflation which has risen sharply this year. Not only will the general minimum wage go to $15.50 per hour from $15 but the student minimum wage will go to $14.60 per hour, a raise from $14.10 per hour
