LIVING WAGE EMPLOYER

As a living wage employer, we’re committed to paying the highest currently calculated living wage rate in Ontario to all Workforce WindsorEssex employees.

The Ontario Living Wage Network champions a living wage for Ontarians; an issue of particular concern as inflation and the cost of living continue to increase. As proud leader in this space, we believe that fair compensation for our employees translates to improved financial and overall well-being. To learn more visit: http://www.livingwage.ca
