Hourly pay rate for a cashier in canada...?

Which province are you in? I'm surprised Tim Hortons pay that much, normally they pay only the min wage. I'd say that in most provinces, a cashier would be paid at min wage (varies between $7.75 to $8.75), except in Western provinces where companies are forced to pay more due to labor shortages so in Alberta it'd be like $12-13. Regarding taxes, you have to pay 1.73% for EI and 4.95% for CPP (though there's a basic $67/week exemption for CPP). Federal income tax is 15% on income higher than about $9,600 (increasing to $10,100 next year), plus higher brackets uver $38k. Provincial income taxes vary by province. BC and Alberta have low taxes, so you don't pay any provincial taxes if you earn under $16,000. SK, MB, and the Maritimes have very high taxes. Ontario is in the middle. Quebec has the steepest progressive tax structure, you don't pay anything under $12,000 but after that the rates are by far the highest in Canada.

Its not bad pay for a start up position as a cashier. You will make $470 "gross" for a 40 hour week. As a single person (no dependants) they will deduct (Employment Insurance and Canada Pension Plan together about 5% of your wage. Income tax at that rate about another 8%) so on $470 you will "net" $408 a week give or take so clear about $1,800/month. They . You can survive on that as a single if you are splitting accomodations and food with other or family. You could manage on your own in basement suite or "bachloer" apartment living frugally./ Tim Hortons is very hard work as you are going all the time but some like that as it makes time go by. Here in Canada if someone has you sign a contract it just means you agree to work for two years at that salary without raises. But you are by no means obligated to work for Tim Hortons for 2 years. If you find something better in the meantime you are free to go elsewhere. Its nice if you give two weeks notice but a contract doesnt mean you have to work the whole term. (you may already know that but just in case). If you have cashier experience you could get similar rates of pay at places like Zellers, Hudson Bay or food supermarkets. The unioned supermarkets like Dominion, Loblaws, Save on Foods pay better union wages up to $20/hr but they are tougher to find. try http://www.monster.ca or http://www.workopolis.ca Good luck

There is something WRONG with this picture. The asker appears to be still in INDIA, so how can they be working at Tims ? Read the line about " how much tax do we pay in Canada " ? If he /she is all ready working in Canada, that question would be answered on the first pay day, right ? No one at Tims is on a contract . This is a SCAM . Jim B. Toronto.
