What contractors receive
In Quebec the formula gives less than the country floor for every level and format, so the rate shown is the floor itself.
The market median wage of CA$28.41 times the contractor premium is below the Canada floor of CA$45. Deftridge does not publish a rate below the floor, so specialists and seniors, regular roles and one-off tasks all show the same number. Above the floor, the rate is agreed with the company inside its range. How the floor works.
