Origin
Summary
The Province legislated an increase in the minimum wage to $14.00 per hour, effective January 1, 2018.
In the CUPE Local 79 Recreation Worker's Part-time Unit wage schedule, Wage Grade one (the lowest wage grade) is paid at minimum wage, as per the Kaplan Award on Harmonization, Pay Equity and Job Evaluation for the Recreation Workers Part-time Unit. The increase in the minimum wage has resulted in all the job classifications in six wage grades that were formerly paid at different rates of pay being paid the same wage rate (i.e. minimum wage).
This report and Confidential attachments provide a recommendation to deal with the wage compression and address the wage schedule.
