More money is coming for essential workers like healthcare, food service, and shelter staff.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford says they are getting $4 more per hour until August 13.
Ford says it’s in recognition of the long hours and increased risk certain fields are facing during the pandemic.
The Premier adds the temporary wage hike will give eligible full-time workers around $3,560 in extra pay.
The Ontario Public Service Employees Union says this move shows “the Premier is providing the leadership Ontario needs.”
