加拿大对于最低工资的标准不同于各省内部的标准,这是在加拿大的三个联邦级别的政府(联邦,省/地区,市议会)之间的一种分权状态。联邦政府负责设定最低工资标准,而省级政府可以设定更高的标准,要求企业按照最高标准支付职工一定的最低工资待遇。
2020年,加拿大联邦政府对最低工资标准作出了调整,全国最低工资标准从每小时11.35加元调整至每小时15加元。在经济复苏的背景下,最低工资的上调是为了提高劳动力的收入水平,改善其生活质量。同时,联邦政府还发布了实施此规定的时间表,以保证企业及其雇员能有效适应最低工资的调整。对于加拿大联邦及其地方政府负责设定最低工资标准,而经济状况决定了最低工资标准实施的时间表。
