      Historique

      The Minumum Wage Branch was established on March 25, 1937, when the Minimum Wage Board was abolished with the 1937 revisions to the Minimum Wage Act. The functions of the Minimum Wage Board were transferred to this Branch, which fell under the jurisdiction of the Industry and Labour Board.

      In 1963, the Industry and Labour Board (including the Minimum Wage Branch) became a part of the newly-created Labour Standards Branch. The Minimum Wage Branch was absorbed by the Labour Standards Branch as of 1963.

      Fonctions et activités

      Reporting to the Industry and Labour Board, the Minimum Wage Branch's principal function was to enforce the provisions of the Minimum Wage Act, which set a minimum wage for various kinds of work in the province, especially for female employees. Branch officials inspected the records of employers of female workers where there had been reports of underpayment, and undertook prosecutions in instances where violations occurred. The Branch also approved wage rates for work done at home and for disabled employees under Section 4 of the Minimum Wage Act.
