Nothing To Hide, Dude!

 Minimum wage in British Columbia is only $15.00/hour. For millions of business owners and employers $15/hour is too much of a rate for worker to earn. Is that true?

Let say, I am the employer and I have a business and the business is thriving much of a success before the pandemic but trying to survive during the pandemic. $15/hour minimum wage is more than helpful for workers who are doing extra ordinary work for the company. However if the workers are reliable, to be trusted, hardworking, and integral part in the growth of the company those workers should receive incentives, benefits and increase of at least $1 or $2 reaching over minimum wage of $17/hour. That should be a good reward for workers who deserved for job well done. 

However, there are other employers who are not capable of giving good rewards. What could be the problem? Being stingy? Greedy or just that their investment has incurred so much financial problems and cannot sum up to giving wage increase and benefit. However, no matter what there are many guidelines and hopefully those employers follow the Labor code.

For others, those suckers for the benefit of lowering expectations as in the method of providing the limitations when it comes to wage stability is by hiring new immigrants who can tackle the job without complaints. ? Are you sure about that? Hiring new immigrants and pay them below minimum wage is like hitting your head with bricks. You are not following the Labor code. Never underestimate the new immigrants for they are more ambitious than other local workers,  even if you are the employer. Facts of life that most new immigrants from other countries are highly educated and skillful and therefore they know the rules. Now what? Hiring refugees to work for you in the government or any business establishments would change the Labor codes and value of laborers? Hmm...weird right? In our generation and with millions of CCTV and all spy gadgets (cellphones) that you never know exist in every establishments, you think you can hide graft and corruption? I don't think so.
