【加拿大】魁北克最低时薪将涨为$12/小时

Quebec's minimum wage to increase to $12 

Quebec's minimum wage employees will be cashing in a larger paycheque come spring, as the minimum wage rises by 75 cents, bringing it to $12 an hour.

The Quebec government announced this morning that the changes will come into effect on May 1 -CBC reports-and will affect 352,000 workers.

Labour Minister Dominique Vien said: "The good economic performance of Quebec allows us to raise minimum wage in a substantial way."

Any workers who make the minimum wage with tips will also see a 35 cent pay rise, meaning they'll earn $9.80 an hour.

"This increase will improve the quality of life for low-income workers as well as promote incentive to work, raise the total amount of disposable income and contribute to lower the incidence of poverty," said Vien.

根据CBC报道，魁北克政府宣布，持有最低工资的员工将于5月1日起迎来涨薪的好消息，最低时薪将上涨到1美元，涨幅为75美分。这项报道给352，000个工人带来了影响。

魁北克劳工部部长Dominique Vien提到，这次的涨薪行为是由魁北克良好的经济形势带来的，任何持有最低工资的工人都会有至少提高35美分的加薪机会，这意味着他们的时薪将会达到9.8美元/小时。通过涨薪可以提高低收入工人的生活质量，并极大的促进他们的工作积极性，使得他们可支配的收入总额产生变化，并降低了由于贫困导致的发病率。
