Minimum wage for Manitoba 12.25

[soccer12o]

12.25 is the legal minimum wage rate. However, for students who want to work 40 hours instead of 20 hours, what is the wage rate for them? Since it would be illegal to work 40 hours.

Furthurmore, DO STUDENTS GET PART TIME JOB IN MANITOBA EASILY? I MEAN, IN A STORE, AS A SHOPKEEPER etc..If, for students who are not allowed to work in canada like without a workpermit, then what is the minimum/approx minimum wage rate?

ANY EXPIERENCED STUDENT MIGHT ANSWER IT WELL

12.25 is the legal minimum wage rate.

Minimum wage in Manitoba is $10.25 (not $12.25).

Any one working more than the allowed limit would be considered breaking the rules and their student permit can be revoked. similarly, anyone employing a student who is breaking the law and working illegally will also be penalized.

Be very wary of those who know you will be working illegally (more than allowed hours or under the table) as it can lead to a few things:
1. you get paid less than the minimum wage
2. you will probably not be treated fairly
3. you will probably have to do more work for less money
4. the employer may even screw you on the money they owe you for the work done

I have seen this happen where someone would employ a student and promise to pay under the table, the student works for a month and the employer tells them to forget the $$ or they will report them to the authorities.

so in any case, its a lose-lose situation for you.

Hi,

If you want to save yourself from possible exploitation (often by one's own community people), possible deportation (if you get caught working illegally)... then settle down, make some contacts, volunteer, join clubs, committees, hobby classes ( eg. martial arts classes etc.), gym.. anything to network with "Canadians", make friends.. and then after 6 months, when you actually get a valid Off Campus Work permit, apply for SIN, then try to find a "valid & Legal" part time job where not only receiving the minimum wage will be your right but also, if you start to see yourself as victim of cheating, racism, sexism or any other prejudice... you can immediately take action within your full legal rights and complain to the authorities. So.. really makes no sense earning few dollars illegally under the table... when there's so much at risk.
Hope u get the point.

Thank you everyone for the replies.
