Alberta to raise minimum wage to $9.47 and tip boost policy
Alberta workers will see a new minimum wage of 9.47 per hour from Sept 1 with a 60 cent rise and a 25 cent tip-based raise for liquor service staff. Employment Minister Thomas Lokaszik says the increases balance employer and employee needs while targeting a living wage. The change affects about 20,000 workers, amid calls from the Alberta Federation of Labour for $12.01 as a living wage, noting Alberta currently ranks near the bottom among provinces.
