minus-squareEiri@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up6·11 days agoAsterisk: there is such a thing as “minimum wage for tipped workers”, which is lower than the normal minimum wage. At least in some provinces. For instance, in Quebec, the normal minimum wage is $16.10 per hour, but for tipped workers, it’s $12.90$. And yes, my reaction to this is also “what the fuck”.
minus-squareAdm_Drummer@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·11 days agoThanks for the clarification. I totally forgot it isn’t federally regulated. There are also student wages which allow you to pay students under 18 even lower wages. Fun stuff!
minus-squareGerudo@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up1·11 days agoHere in the states, the minimum for tipped workers is $2.13. Also, the federal minimum wage for nontip is $7.25. And they wonder why we can’t afford McDonald’s over here.
