Minimum wage increase/vacation time increase for Ontario and your daycare
Hi All,
As most on you Ontario folks know the minimum wage will be increasing to $14 per hour this year and $15 for Jan 2019.
Will you be adjusting your rates to reflect this? Have you thought of adjusting your rates to reflect this?
The vacation time will also be adjusted to ensure that you are "entitled to three weeks of paid vacation after five years of service with the same employer"
Are you considering increasing your "vacation time" ( Personal time for us) if you have been a daycare provider for more than five years?
Just curious as to what everyone's thoughts are! I personally would like to raise my rates by at lest $2.00 per day. As well change my "vacation time" (personal time) from two weeks to three. Currently all my families have been with the same employer for 5 years so everyone else will have three weeks vacation this year.
Would love to hear what everyone else is thinking!!
Thanks
