Thumbs Down

Give people $1.00 more an hour…

Employees take home significantly less after federal and provincial taxes (only $0.60 in some tax brackets).

That extra $1.00 an hour will cost employers about $1.29 an hour, after they pay the government.

There are no guarantees employees will save money for emergencies, leaving both them and you in a tight spot should the worst happen.

Thumbs Up

Give employees benefits coverage

Benefits received by employees are often tax free. That means $1.00 paid in premium = $1.00 worth of benefits.

Offering benefits is tax-effective compensation. Employers can save money by deducting eligible expenses on their own taxes.

Employees get ongoing support to stay physically and mentally healthy, plus protection when they need it most.
