Good to know

No youth rate and no tip credit: tipped_cash equals the rate.
Skipped: the fair wage schedule, which sets wage rates for workers on Government of Yukon public works contracts (adjusted every April 1 by the Whitehorse CPI).
The $17.94 rate took effect April 1, 2025 (the annual April 1 increase, and the ESDC Minimum Wage Database shows the same date).
