Security guards get big pay raise along with employee status (no longer independent contractors).
"On Thursday, Prime Minister Andrew Holness, in his budget presentation in Parliament, announced the jump in minimum wages for security guards, taking salaries from $10,500 weekly to $14,000. He also announced a 44 per cent increase in the national minimum wage, which will move from $9,000 per 40-hour work week to $13,000 per 40-hour work week."
