A child's first summer job, be it in vacuum excavation or retail sales, is a rite of passage. Usually sometime in high school a teenager will get themselves a job so they can have some spending cash in their pocket and no longer have to rely on their parents for a source of income. It can get kind of tiring asking parents to borrow $20 off them so they can go to the movies or shopping. Getting a job not only eliminates the need to ask for money but it also helps save a little cash for the future.

If you're unsure of how to break down minimum wage to your kids then continue reading this article before sitting your son or daughter around the kitchen table in your Markham houses for some handy explanation tips.

In the most basic of terms, minimum wage is the lowest monetary amount an employer can pay somebody to work for them. The minimum wage is set by the government and details exactly how much an employer has to pay an employee. It doesn't matter if you're a full time employee, part time employee, casual employee, work on commission, get paid hourly, are on salary, or get paid a piece or flat rate, there is a minimum you must get paid.

Of course not everybody gets paid the same minimum wage and some categories of workers such as students under 18, liquor servers, homeworkers, or hunting and fishing guides, just to name a few, have different minimum wages than the standard minimum wage.

Letting your son or daughter know what the minimum wage is will give them an idea of how much money they will be earning at a job that pays the minimum wage. It will also warn them in case they are hired at a business that is trying to pay them less than the minimum wage. Most people hiring, be it Oakville dentists, fast food restaurants or convenience stores, know the minimum wage and offer jobs that start at the minimum wage. If your son or daughter is offered something that doesn't meet the minimum wage standard then advise them to look at other places hiring.
