Manitoba is still working out the details of the wage top up for the province’s front-line workers.

Premier Brian Pallister says there's more planning needed to figure out how much workers will receive, and exactly who will qualify.

Pallister says workers may be getting a one-time payment of about $1,000 through an online application.

The wage top up is a federal cost-share program announced last week, meant for low-wage workers who’ve continued to work throughout the COVID-19 situation.
