The following is being issued at the request of the Minimum Wage Review Committee:

The Newfoundland and Labrador minimum wage is an important decision, made by the Provincial Government, one that impacts tens of thousands of employees, employers, and the overall economy in the province. Every two years, the Provincial Government is legislated to conduct a review of the current minimum wage rate, as well as the adjustment process.

As part of the review process, the independent Minimum Wage Review Committee is inviting stakeholders and members of the public to provide input into the review and inform the recommendations that will be made to the Provincial Government about the minimum wage rate and adjustment process going forward.

To participate and share your feedback, please complete the online questionnaire at the links below or visit www.engagenl.ca for additional engagement opportunities.
