P.E.I. to increase minimum wage
November 9, 2021
Despite the fact that the province’s Consumer Price Index remained flat between 2019 and 2020, the province will increase its minimum wage by 5.4% on April 1, 2022. The Employment Standards Board consulted with stakeholders, including RCC, during the summer of 2021. Despite RCC’s continued call for a predictable minimum wage adjustment based on CPI for the previous year, the province will increase its minimum wage by $0.70 to $13.70.
