Workers covered by BC’s employment standards law are entitled to a '''minimum wage'''. This is the lowest amount of money an employer can pay a worker. As of June 1, 2019, the general minimum wage in BC is $13.85 per hour. Special minimum wage rates apply for some jobs, such as liquor servers and farm workers who pick crops by hand. The rates change from time to time. | |||
