As part of Government's ECE Recruitment and Retention Strategy, the additional $2 per hour wage enhancement for front-line Early Childhood Educators (ECEs) working in licensed child care facilities was sent to providers last week for hours worked between September 2021 and February 2022. Once providers receive their lump sum payments, they have 30 days to distribute it to eligible ECEs.
Starting on April 1, providers will be able to claim the wage enhancement for hours worked in March which will automatically reflect the $4 per hour rate. This is the third wage enhancement offered to licensed ECEs since September 2019 and it doubled the overall wage enhancement payment to $4 per hour.
