A Nova Scotia bicycle shop says paying employees a living wage has helped the business. “We don’t have an issue with recruiting staff. The wage really does attract better employees.”

“That cushion is essential. It’s essential for people to be able not to have to stress about being able to pay their bills at the end of the month,” said Nova Scotia director Christine Saulnier. “But it’s also about them not having to work multiple jobs.”

Volunteer Suzanne MacNeil said they’ve been hearing from many Nova Scotians who say they’ve been struggling to cover their bills amid the high costs of living and soaring inflation. Feenstra said an extra quarter million dollars is coming out of his business to cover the living wage, but it’s worth it.

Where will the not so good employees work?

As long as your buisness model is able to pass those costs to the consumer and remain profitable then I say, good job. 👍👍
