British Columbia just raised the bar for minimum wage in Canada! Effective today, June 1st, 2024, workers across the province will see their minimum hourly rate jump from $16.75 to $17.40. This 3.9% increase keeps pace with inflation and makes BC the leader in minimum wage rates nationwide.

The change applies to all workers, regardless of pay structure (hourly, salary, commission, etc.). If an employee's current earnings fall below the new minimum for their hours worked, their employer is legally obligated to bridge the gap. This positive development extends to workers with special minimum wage rates, such as liquor servers, live-in camp leaders, home support workers, and resident caretakers. Their rates will also see an increase on June 1st.

This is a welcome boost for BC's workforce, helping them cope with rising living costs.
