Miminum Wage Update
The Government of Ontario has announced that, on October 1, 2023, the general minimum wage in the province will rise to $16.55 per hour. This rise, from $15.50 per hour, amounts to a 6.8% pay raise for workers earning the minimum wage.
However, for the federally regulated private sector, the minimum wage was raised to $16.55 on April 1, 2023. The federal minimum wage applies to the federally regulated private sectors, including banks, postal and courier services, and interprovincial air, rail, road, and marine transportation. More
What does it mean to us? Your staff may ask for increase in their pay wages. So let's be prepared! |

Staff Shortage Update
Your board is working hard and trying different avenues to allow dental assistants to increase intra-oral duties. We are working with AAO and approaching the Ministry of Health to amend the Dentistry Act to effect this change. This will take time but we will keep chiselling at it bit by bit. |
