Every two years, the Provincial Government is legislated to conduct a review of the province’s minimum wage rate and the adjustment process. As part of the review, the Provincial Government is seeking input from stakeholders and members of the public.
To participate and share your feedback, please complete the brief online questionnaire available here. The questionnaire will be available online until March 16, 2024.
Written submissions will also be accepted until March 29, 2024.

The Labour Standards Regulations currently stipulate that, on April 1 of each year, the minimum wage shall change based on the percentage increase to the National Consumer Price Index. On April 1, 2024, the increase will bring the minimum wage in Newfoundland and Labrador to $15.60 per hour.

“This process provides the opportunity for the public, as well as employers, labour and government departments, to voice their concerns and present any pertinent commentary to help inform the review. Public engagement on this important issue helps to ensure the minimum wage rate adjustment process is relevant and responsive to the needs of the people in Newfoundland and Labrador. I encourage all interested parties to participate in this process.”
