Minimum wage in Ontario is about to go up and this is what you need to know

If you're making minimum wage in Ontario, your earnings are going to increase come Oct. 1.

This increase will be the second in as many years for the province, after hourly minimum wage was frozen at $14 from 2018 to 2020.

As of Oct. 1, Ontario's minimum hourly wage will increase by ten cents — from $14.25 to $14.35.

Students and liquor servers — both of which are paid under the provincial minimum wage — will also see a ten-cent increase.

Student wages will increase from $13.40 to $13.50, while liquor servers’ wages will increase from $12.45 to $12.55.
