B.C. minimum wage to rise to $10.25 by 2012

2011, reasonable, increase, training, minimum

The B.C. Government will increase the minimum wage, Premier Christy Clark announced Wednesday. The minimum wage will rise in increments, she said, reaching $10.25 per hour by May 2012.
The current minimum wage is $8 an hour, the lowest in Canada. It will increase on May 1, 2011 to $8.75 and be $10.25 per hour by May 2012.
The province will also eliminate the training wage.
"Raising the minimum wage and eliminating the training wage is a fair and reasonable step forward in putting families first and building our economy. This increase could mean more than $4,000 additional dollars annually for a full-time employee, providing more support to B.C. workers and the families who depend on them," Clark said

General Minimum Wage
- Today $8/hr
- May 1/11 $8.75
- Nov 1/11 $9.50
- May 1/12 $10.25
