Nova Scotia seeks feedback on proposed minimum wage increase
(Mar. 25/10) The Nova Scotia government is soliciting feedback on a proposal to increase the minimum wage by 35 cents to $10 on Oct.1, 2011. Given the rapid wage increase in recent years, CRFA is asking government to:
- reject this proposed increase;
- introduce a tip differential for licensed servers; and
- raise the income tax basic personal exemption to give more money to lower-income earners.
Concerned operators can share their views with government by calling 1-888-315-0110, e-mailing labrstd@gov.ns.ca, or faxing 902-424-0648.
