![[Canada] 65 cent federal minimum wage increase in April](http://globalpayrollassociation.com/cdn/shop/articles/bigstock-Burnaby-BC-Canada--March---328159480_1200x.jpg?v=1710228506)
Canada’s federal minimum wage will increase by 65 cents next month, based on the 2023 Consumer Price Index, To Do Canada reports.
From April 1, 2024, the country’s federal minimum wage will rise from $16.65 to $17.30 per hour, in line with the Consumer Price Index.
The federal minimum wage was reportedly established under Part III (Labour Standards) of the Canada Labour Code. It was amended to include a federal minimum wage that rises with inflation. This measure came into force on December 29, 2021.
The first adjustment took place on April 1, 2022.
Workers and interns in federally regulated private sectors such as banks, postal and courier services, and interprovincial air, rail, road and marine transportation receive the federal minimum wage.
The rules dictate that federally regulated private-sector employers must adjust their payroll information to ensure workers and interns are paid correctly as of April 1, 2024.
In cases of the provincial or territorial minimum wage rate being higher than the federal minimum wage, employers must reportedly apply the higher rate.
