→Minimum wage for farm workers
Farm workers who harvest specific crops by hand may be paid by '''piece rate'''. The minimum piece rate is set by the BC government and varies depending on the crop. For example, the minimum piece rate is different for harvesting a pound of raspberries than for a pound of beans. A bin of apples and a bin of grapes have different rates.
All other farm workers, whether they are paid hourly, by salary, or by any other method must be paid at least the '''general minimum wage'''. As of June 1, 20182019, the general minimum wage is $1213.65 85 per hour.
The Employment Standards Branch website lists the current minimums; visit [http://gov.bc.ca/employmentstandards gov.bc.ca/employmentstandards].
