Local businesses are looking forward to some of the relief that will be provided through government’s new wage support program.
The program will provide small to medium-sized businesses with between $2,500 and $5,000 to offset some of the pressures arising from the most recent minimum wage increase.
Sarah Deer’s family has owned a Mark’s franchise in the capital city for decades, and she took over the franchise in 2018.
She says the initiative will mean a lot to local businesses and she hopes that many can take advantage of the program and keep their staff employed.
