The minimum wage in Newfoundland and Labrador is set to increase by 45 cents as of April 1.
The increase will bring the wage in the province to $13.20 per hour. As well, the minimum overtime rate will increase to $19.80 per hour.
The increase is required under current Labour Standards Regulations and is based on changes to the Consumer Price Index.
Government recently established a committee to review the process for adjusting the minimum wage. A final report from that committee is due by the end of April.
