Some Canadian employees are about to get pay bumps as the minimum wage is set to increase in certain provinces in October. The federal minimum wage was raised on April 1 to keep pace with inflation. And, a new slate of minimum wage increases are coming to some provinces next month, too. According to the Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training, and Skills Development of Ontario, minimum wage employees who work 40 hours a week will see an annual pay increase of up to $835 due to these changes. Of course, those in minimum wage positions that earn tips can end up making far more.
