加拿大联邦最低工资即将上涨

Federal Minimum Wage in Canada Set to Increase

加拿大的联邦最低工资将在不到三个月内上涨。时薪每年4月1日根据通货膨胀进行调整。

The federal minimum wage in Canada is set to increase in less than three months. The hourly amount is adjusted annually on April 1 to keep pace with inflation.

去年同一天，政府将联邦最低时薪从16.65加元上调至17.30加元。

On the same date last year, the government raised the federal hourly minimum wage from $16.65 to $17.30.

根据加拿大律师事务所Samfiru Tumarkin LLP的说法，联邦最低工资适用于在联邦监管的私营部门工作的员工和实习生，包括银行、电信公司以及跨省的航空、海运、铁路和公路运输企业。

Per Canadian law firm Samfiru Tumarkin LLP, the federal minimum wage applies to employees and interns working in the federally regulated private sector, including businesses like banks, telecommunications companies, and interprovincial air, marine, rail, and road transportation.

所有最低工资的上涨基于上一年度加拿大消费者价格指数（CPI）的平均值。2024年12月的CPI数据将于1月21日公布，届时可以确切得知联邦最低工资将上涨多少。

All minimum wage increases are based on the average of Canada's Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the previous calendar year. The CPI numbers for December 2024 will be released on January 21, providing an exact idea of how much the federal minimum wage will be boosted.

一些加拿大法律和移民机构已经做出预测。移民咨询公司ImmigCanada预计，最低工资可能约为每小时17.70加元，但目前这个数字尚未确定。

Some Canadian law and immigration firms already have forecasts. Immigration consultancy ImmigCanada projects that the rate will be around $17.70 per hour, but for now, take that number with a grain of salt.

加拿大就业和社会发展部（ESDC）向《Daily Hive》确认工资将上涨。

Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) confirmed to Daily Hive that an increase is coming.

下周，12月CPI公布后，将计算并确定具体调整金额。新最低工资将在2025年4月1日之前公布于政府的劳工项目网站上。

Next week, after the December CPI is published, the exact adjustment will be calculated and determined. The new minimum wage will be publicized on the government's labour program website before April 1, 2025.

许多省份也会在每年4月上调时薪，但有些省份会选择在10月调整。还有一些可能不会每年都调整最低工资。

Many provinces also raise their hourly minimum wages in April, while some do so in October. However, others may decide not to raise their minimum wage yearly.

Samfiru Tumarkin LLP表示，如果某个省或地区的最低工资高于联邦标准，该地区联邦监管的雇主必须按照更高的标准支付工资。

Samfiru Tumarkin LLP says that if the minimum wage in a province or territory is higher than the federal number, federally regulated employers in the province must apply the higher rate.

即使最低工资预计上涨，加拿大的最低工资仍远未达到“生活工资”水平。

Even with projected bumps, the minimum wages in Canada are nowhere near a living wage.
