Front-line workers in Manitoba can expect to see an additional $1,377 in their bank accounts this week.

The province has given an update on where they stand when it comes to the wage top-up for front-line workers.

Premier Brian Pallister made the announcement today, saying “we want to thank front-line workers and acknowledge the sacrifices they made during the COVID-19 pandemic and the increased risks they faced on the job to provide crucial services. We also appreciate Manitobans’ patience as we reviewed every application we received in order to determine final payment amounts.”

The province will divide $120 million equally among 78, 442 eligible Manitobans, which will equal out to $1,377 after taxes.

Eligible positions for the wage top-up included health care, social services, justice, security, transportation, food and beverage, hotels and essential retail.
