👉British Columbia will be the first Canadian province to set a minimum wage and protections for gig workers using apps like Uber, DoorDash, and Lyft, starting September 3. Workers must be paid $20.88 per hour during "engaged time"—from accepting to completing an assignment. This rate is 20% higher than B.C.'s minimum wage of $17.40 to compensate for gaps between gigs. Tips do not count towards earnings, and platforms must cover any shortfalls. The new rules aim to ensure fair compensation for gig workers, who often face low earnings after expenses, said Janet Routledge, parliamentary secretary for labour.✅ .

👉British Columbia is set to raise its minimum wage from $16.75 to $17.40 on June 1, marking a 3.9% increase. The announcement follows amendments to Bill 2, linking future minimum wage increments to the prior year's inflation rate. This move aims to guarantee annual raises for minimum-wage earners, preventing them from falling behind. Minister of Labour Harry Bains emphasized the province's commitment to addressing wage disparities. Other categories, such as alternate minimum wages for specific roles, will also witness a 3.9% hike. B.C., once among the lowest, now boasts the highest minimum wage among Canadian provinces.✅ .
