WATCH LIVE: Ford set to announce $15 minimum wage for gig economy workers

The “Digital Platform Workers’ Rights Act” will guarantee a regular minimum wage for individuals employed by app-based services, such as ride-share drivers and couriers, which they will receive on top of their tips. It also makes it mandatory for workers to receive a recurring pay period and pay day while prohibiting tips from being withheld by platform operators.

“So we're going to bring forward a transparency, so workers know exactly how the algorithm works and how they're going to be paid.” “Every worker in the province deserves to earn at least minimum wage, and these companies have a responsibility—and they're going to be forced by law—to clearly tell workers on digital platforms how and when they're going to be paid.”

“It is clearly unacceptable that these injustices are happening in Ontario, and in Canada quite frankly,” he said. “No gig worker should earn less than minimum wage. No gig worker should be fired without notice or explanation. And no one, period, should have to travel out of Canada to have a workplace dispute resolved. That's why we're taking action.”in Ontario to $15 an hour in January, choosing to also include liquor servers who were previously making $12.55 per hour.
