As of June 1, 2021, the B.C. minimum wage will be increased to $15.20 per hour, up from $14.60.

Not only will that number be going up, but liquor servers will finally be getting the same amount as other minimum wage workers.

Another impacted sector is live-in camp leaders who will now get $121.65 per day instead of $116.86.

Finally, “resident caretaker minimum wage, per month, increases to $912.28, plus $36.56 per suite for those who manage nine to 60 residential suites and to $3,107.42 for 61 or more suites,” says the update.
