5 essential rules Alberta workers need to know - Workers' Resource Centre Whether you’ve been working for the last 20 years or you are starting your first job, many workers overlook the laws that govern their work.

#Alberta workers are entitled to proper pay, breaks, & certain types of time off. These aren’t “favours”. They’re rules. https://ow.ly/wo2350Y53G5

If something at work feels off, it’s worth looking into. Need help? 👉 helpwrc.org

🚨On Jan. 13, our water use was 499 ML, putting us in the strained zone. We still need your help to save water. Keep taking action like skipping flushes, washing full loads only and limiting showers to 3 minutes.

Having a problem at work and not sure where to turn?

We help Albertans understand their rights at work and navigate issues like unpaid wages, sick leave, parental leave, discrimination at work, & denied benefits such as Employment Insurance.

Graphic titled “Q&A: Alberta Minimum Wage.” Large text asks, “Is minimum wage $15 per hour or $13 per hour?” Smaller text explains: For most workers in Alberta, minimum wage is $15 per hour. However, workers under 18 who are students working limited hours may be paid as low as $13 per hour. A small illustrated character appears beside a speech bubble that says, “It’s pretty hard to get by on minimum wage. Smart employers pay workers more. It increases retention, improves productivity, and can ultimately save money. Win-win!” Blue and green design elements on a white background.

Is Alberta’s minimum wage $15/hour or $13/hour?

For most workers, it’s $15/hour.
Some workers under 18 who are students working limited hours may be paid $13/hour.

Unsure about whether you're being paid correctly?

This is very concerning trend that we have seen too, even among Albertans who are employed FT, or who work multiple PT jobs. Employers can help to alleviate this crisis, by paying their employees a living wage.
