An announcement on the new
Minimum Wage and some
improvements of Employment
Standards in the area • of
job security.
As of October 1, 1970, the general
minimum wage goes up to $1.50/hour,
and the construction minimum to $1.75/
hour. Then, on April 1, 1971, the gen- ,
eral minimum jumps to $1.65/hour,
and construction to $1.90/hour.
If your wage depends on the estab-
lished minimum, get the whole story
on the rising minimum wages by writ-
ing or phoning the Regional office of
the Ontario Department of Labour
ware,st you.
At the same time the minimum
wage goes up, new regulations come
into effect to improve your job security.
For example, if you work for one
of an associated group of companies
and are assigned to another company
'in the group for a period of time, you'll
get paid for any overtime you work
just as if you were still working for the
original company. All the other provi-
sions of the Act apply the same way.
If, for any reason, your company
closes down, all wages owed to you (up
to $2,000) have preferred claim against
the assets of the employer.
The same rule covers any vacation '
pay you may have coming (vacation
pay must now be held in trust for you
by your employer).
How much vacation are you en-
titled to? The law says you must get at
least one week's paid vacation after
your first twelve months of employs
ment, and two week's paid vacation
after each of the next twelve months.
Some new teeth in the law.
The Employment Standards
Branch has the power to assess any
money owing to you, either wages,
overtime or vacation pay, and to collect
it from your employer on your behalf.
Employers must also pay the
Department a 10% penalty for with-
holding any money from you.
For the whole story on what these
changes mean to you, write or phone
your nearest Employment Standards
Branch..
