Enforce Laws On
Minimum Wage
The Ontario Labour Department
is concentrating employment
standards inspections this mouth
on the hotel, restaurant and re-
lated industries to rnal<e sure
employers and employees are
aware of a new minimum wage.
The new minimum of $1.30
hourly became effective October
1 for the hotel, motel, resort,
restaurant tavern and taxi bus-
inesses. It and other improved
employment standards became
effective in other business and
industry last January 1.
Lbour Minister Dalton Bales
said the shift in emphasis would
be for a few weeks only. After
that, employment standards of-
ficers would return to the nor-
mal schedule of investigating
complaints and carrying out gen-
eral spot checks.
Mr. Bales said he decided to
concentrate on the low-wage
service industries after consult-
ation with Earl Ilowarcl, Director
of the Department's Employment
Standards Branch.
"In the course of the past nine
months we have found, "he said,
"that most employers willingly
meet their obligations under the
new employment standards leg-
islation.
"But, despite our efforts to
publicize the legislation, we
find that many employers and
employees are not aware of it
and because of this we are in-
creasing our efforts, in this field..

are cases of negilence it is bet -

ter to find then quickly as this
prevents employers having to pay
substantial amounts because all
adjustments are retroactive."
' The hotel, motel, resort, rest-
aurant tavern and taxi industries
were exempt the past nine month:
from the $1.30 minimum wage
which became effective in Ont-
ario last January 1, when the new
Employment Standards Act be-
came law.
Because it was felt the full im-
pact of the new minimum wage
could have serious financial
repercussions for these industries,
it was imposed in two stages, to
give ample time for adjustment.
During the first nine months of
the year, the required minimum
for experienced employees was
$1.15 hourly,
Since the new legislation be -
carne law the Employment Stand-
ards Branch of the Department
has collected $871, 887 for 30, 69i
employees throughout the pro-
vince, who bad been underpaid,
Mr. Bales said.
He said that branch inspectors
have carried out 5, 592 inspect-
ions to make sure employers pay
minimum wage, overtime pay,
vacation pay or equal pay for
equal work for men and women,.
The branch can collect unpaid
wages for employees up to a
total claim of $1, 000.
