| Here in Ontario, Your total income that you take home must equal at least minimum wage.
So if you work 40 hours, and you just get a flat fee of $400, that comes out to $10/hour.
However, if they give you $400 and make you wake 80 hours, then you are only making $5/hour, which is LESS then the minimum wage. So then they must give you more money to get you up to at least the minimum wage. |
