A Two Tiered Minimum Wage Has Its Supporters

The Canadian Federation of Independent Business likes the idea of a two tiered minimum wage which the provincial government is going to examine.

Acting Atlantic Director Erin McGrath-Gaudet tell CHSJ News workers who serve liquour and receive tips would get less than the minimum wage along with those school leavers with no experience who get hired for their very first job and receive a so called training wage for a three month period.

She maintains small to medium sized businesses might be more willing to take them on. This system, she tells us, is working well in other jurisdictions including Nova Scotia.
