Prince Edward Island will increase the minimum wage
On November 10, 2019, the Prince Edward Island government reminded about the increase of the minimum wage by 15 cents to $13.00 per hour that will be in effect on April 1, 2021. The current minimum wage in the province is $12.85 per hour. The official statement of the provincial government noted that the minimum wage rate is indexed to the province’s consumer price index, rounded to the nearest five cents. The Employment Standards Board reviews minimum wage annually and provides their recommendation to the Government after the review is complete. The Atlantic provinces harmonize the date of effect of any minimum wage rate increase to April 1.
