Employment Standards Office shares wage recovery information for former employees of Minto Metals Corporation

The closure of the Minto mine has affected Yukoners and others across the country. The Government of Yukon and the Yukon Employment Standards Office want to help ensure that former Minto employees are aware of the supports available to them.

Former Minto employees may now be able to recover eligible wages through the federal government’s Wage Earner Protection Program. Contact PricewaterhouseCoopers at [email protected] and visit the Canada.ca webpage for the Wage Earner Protection Program as soon as possible. The deadline to apply for the Wage Earner Protection Program is on or around September 18, 2023. 

The complaint process at the Employment Standards Office complements the Wage Earner Protection Program. Employees who believe they are owed wages must file a complaint with the Employment Standards Office by November 10, 2023. Contact [email protected] or (867) 667-5944 for more information about how to file a complaint.
