Labor, employers and government agree on new minimum wage scale
Thank you Sir, not assumptions at all. Pure grammar .What did I expect from a math teacher... grammar?? The chip on your shoulder is as large as a cedar tree. That is the second time in one month you have said that in response to my posts. Not a problem, Mr. Saunders, at least you parsed your apology. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. OMG... they are teaching kids??
No apology, and no reason for one. If I was writing an essay or a book I would worry about my grammar.
lol.....or perhaps being a school teacher.. Give it up...sir I'm bored with your foolishness. Have a good night. Seriously.
Inflation is for use to pay more for stuff.
At least that is how I look at it.
Let us see what tomorrow brings in that regard.
This is a MINIMUM wage , you are free to pay double to the teachers that deserve it ( or pay bonuses and incentives as you see fit)
And as business operators if an employee doesn't meet our standards for even the the minimum wage then we should be seeking to replace them with someone at least minimally productive.
I totally get Bob, I had a relative who ran a school, and it's a very tough thing to do. And Yes, people who do really want to pay, always figure out a way to do it, even with the pandemic. The ones who don't, were the same before the pandemic.
I expect that some larger businesses may take advantage of the system and split their operations in order to be smaller so they fit into a lower category and can pay a lower rate. EG, a manufacturing company that has 180 employees may form several seperate entities. One for receiving, handling and prepping the raw materials, one for the actual manufacturing process, one for packaging, storage and distribution and one for the management and accounting end, thus having 4 companies, all of which have under 50 employees.
in Canada, and likely other places, there are a lot of part time positions, mainly because some years ago the government ruled that any employee that works more than 24 hours a week is entitled to benefits. Sick days, medical ins, pension plan, etc. Businesses reaction was to adapt to more positions of 24 hours or less.
Instead of having 10 people doing 40 hrs each, a business may have 1 full time manager, and 15 workers, each getting 24 hours a week.
