Description
This funding provides programs with a wage top-up for certified child care staff and family day home providers over and above the base wage paid by the employer. Staff must be paid at least minimum wage before the wage top-up.
Wage top-up funding is allocated to child care programs as a grant to administer additional pay for certified staff and family day home providers over and above the employer-paid wage. When the program administers the wage top-up to staff, it is considered a ‘wage’ and thus the program is required to assume the costs associated with administering the top-up in accordance with all applicable provincial and federal legislation.
