You know what they say about orange kitties, right? We’re friendly critters, with a great appreciation for human companionship. I am certainly no exception. Despite these big macho cheeks and large body, I’m about as far from rough and tough as you can get. In fact, if you scratch my chubby cheeks, I will melt all over you. My cheeks are my sweet spot, for sure! Fur like mine doesn’t stay beautiful without a little effort, so I hope there will be some grooming in my future. What do you say?

I’ll make it worth your while! Let’s get started on our new life. I can’t wait!

Working Wise Dear Working Wise: I’m wondering if I’m getting a raise this year? I heard the general minimum wage is going up, but are we liquor servers getting a raise?

Signed Wondering Waitress ©iStockphoto.com/CandyBoxImages

Dear Wondering: Yes, the minimum wage for alcohol servers is rising from $9.05 to $9.20 per hour effective September 1. Alberta’s general minimum wage will also rise 25 cents, from $9.95 to $10.20 per hour.

Do you have a work-related question? Send your questions to Working Wise, at charles.strachey@gov.ab.ca. Charles Strachey is a manager with Alberta Human Services. This column is provided for general information.

From now on, both minimum wage rates will increase and a $1 differential between the two will be maintained. The separate minimum wage rate for alcohol servers recognizes that these employees earn tips.

Minimum wage increases take effect on September 1 of each year and are based on increases in average weekly earnings and the Consumer Price Index in Alberta.

In the past year, average weekly earnings rose 3.3 per cent in Alberta, while the Consumer Price Index rose 1.4 per cent. The average of these two figures (2.3 per cent) was rounded up to 25 cents per hour to make it easier for employers to calculate.

Setting an annual date and indexing the minimum wage helps make the increases more predictable for both employers and employees.

It’s important to remember that these are minimum wage rates—many employers choose to pay their employees more to attract and retain good people.

In fact, only 1.5 per cent of Alberta employees make minimum wage right now—the least in the country. And, more than half of minimum-wage earners are under 25 years old and many work in the accommodation and food-services industries.

Minimum wage is meant to give students and others new to the workforce a foothold in the world of work. It is about getting job experience, work skills, extra income and savings for further education and training.

Minimum wage is the minimum amount employers must pay workers in Alberta, but there are a few exceptions, including: • • • • • •

farm or ranch workers; securities salespersons; real estate brokers; insurance salespeople; students in approved work-experience programs or training courses; counsellors/instructors at non-profit camps; and extras in film or video production.

Alberta’s Employment Standards also includes a minimum weekly wage for some salespersons and professionals (will rise to $406) and a minimum monthly minimum wage for domestic employees (will rise to $1,937 on September 1).

After personal exemptions and taxes are considered, Alberta’s new general minimum wage of $10.20 per hour will be the second highest in Canada.

For more information on Alberta’s minimum wage rates and exemptions, visit http://work.alberta.ca/es.

Anyone interested in increasing their earning power can visit their nearest Alberta Works Centre and talk to a Career & Employment Consultant about upgrading their skills and finding a better-paying career.
