KITCHENER, ON, March 8, 2017 /CNW/ - Hoyes, Michalos & Associates Inc., a Licensed Insolvency Trustee firm with offices across Ontario, has made the commitment that all direct and indirect staff working at Hoyes Michalos will receive a living wage.

"As Licensed Insolvency Trustees, we see the direct impact of average Ontarian's struggling to make ends meet. We believe strongly that a living wage will help Ontarians by allowing them to earn an income sufficient to support their basic needs, and avoid the need to use debt to balance their budget. We are pleased to participate in, and support, such a worthy program," says Doug Hoyes, Licensed Insolvency Trustee and co-founder.
Hoyes Michalos signed a Living Wage Employer Declaration as a Champion level employer with Living Wage Waterloo Region on March 8, 2017. In addition to making this commitment in Kitchener-Waterloo, the location of our head office, we also commit to meeting the requirements in all municipalities with a living wage program where we have offices.
