In this video, I would like to talk about how Minimum wage increases for hourly workers have taken effect in six provinces across Canada . Also, In this video, I would like to cover the following topic: - Understanding the Canadian labour market as a newcomer to this country - More about employment rights and reporting misconduct in Canada - Minimum wage increases for hourly workers have taken effect in six provinces across Canada Minimum wage rates have been increased for Canadians in six provinces nationwide. This adjustment aligns with the timeline disclosed in April of this year. The following details the extent to which hourly minimum wages have been elevated in each of the six affected provinces, effective as of this past Sunday (October 1, 2023). The surge in minimum wages on October 1 is a positive development for newcomers to Canada, a group that has traditionally been disproportionately represented in low-wage occupations. Given their historical vulnerability to workplace exploitation and misconduct, Canadian newcomers should be aware that their status in the country does not diminish their rights and protections as employees. The Canadian Labour Code stipulates that all employed individuals in the country have the right to a safe work environment and fair compensation for their contributions. Employers, in turn, have specific obligations to their employees under the Labour Code, including providing job training, offering reasonable healthcare services, granting access to information about their employment rights, and furnishing a signed copy of the employment agreement. Canadian employers are also bound by a code of conduct, which prohibits actions such as forcing workers into unsafe tasks not outlined in their employment agreement, mandating sick or injured employees to work, and taking away passports or work permits. It is crucial for both Canadian and foreign workers to be aware that there are established standards protecting employees in the country. The rights of foreign workers are safeguarded under federal and provincial/territorial labor laws, and the Canadian Human Rights Act ensures protection against discrimination based on various grounds, including gender, race, or age. For those experiencing misconduct, it is essential to know that reporting workplace misbehavior is protected in Canada. Victims can report inappropriate behavior from an employer to the appropriate workplace health and safety office in their province or territory without fear of repercussions.
