Next Steps with Minimum Wage in Canada

Managing Canadian minimum wage alongside your U.S. program has meant maintaining a separate spreadsheet, manual tracking, and a workflow that lives outside your GovDocs platform. That changes now.

This article explains how to track Canadian locations alongside your U.S. minimum wage program, and what to do next.

What's New: Canadian Minimum Wage in GovDocs

The Minimum Wage Dashboard previously supported U.S. jurisdictions only. With this update, all Canadian provinces and territories are now part of the platform.

Here is what is new:

  • Canada on the map. Canadian provinces and territories appear on the Minimum Wage map, using the same map experience you already use for the U.S.
  • Canadian location tracking. You can add Canadian locations to your Minimum Wage program and view current wage rates, effective dates, and location details.
  • Notifications for Canada. Once Canadian locations are added, you will receive dashboard and email notifications for upcoming Canadian wage changes.
  • CSV exports. Canadian location data is included in your exports using the same format as your U.S. data.
  • Tipped wages. Tipped wage information is available for Canadian locations. Quebec is currently the only province with a tipped minimum wage, but the field is accessible for all Canadian locations.
  • Canadian Pay Transparency. Provinces and territories with pay transparency laws are included in the Resources PDF and updated monthly, alongside your U.S. data.
  • Indexing Requirements. Province and territory indexing rules, including how wages are tied to inflation or CPI formulas, are included in the Resources Excel Spreadsheet and updated monthly.
  • The Canada minimum wage PDF is retired. The standalone PDF is being retired in September 2026. Canadian wage rates are now available directly in your GovDocs Dashboard, where the Compliance team keeps data current and you'll receive proactive notifications when rates change.

That resource is being retired in September 2026. Your GovDocs Dashboard is now the primary source for Canadian wage rates. Share this article with your team to make the transition.

If your organization operates only in the U.S.:

No action is needed. Your experience remains the same.
