Saskatchewan’s minimum wage will increase by 36 cents this year. As of Oct. 1, the wage will go from $11.45 per hour to $11.81.
The province reviews its minimum wage on an annual basis. The wage is indexed to a formula that gives equal weight to the consumer price index and average hourly wage.
“Dealing with COVID-19 over the past year and a half has been a difficult time for everyone in Saskatchewan,” Labour Relations and Workplace Safety Minister Don Morgan said in a press release. “The provincial government has a strong framework in place to ensure that we are supporting both businesses and workers as we move into recovery after the pandemic. As life returns to normal, sustainable and predictable increases to our minimum wage help ensure that everyone will be able to benefit from a strong and growing Saskatchewan in the future.”
It will be 90 years this year since three miners – Peter Markunas, Nick Nargan and Julian Gryshko – lost their lives in an effort to improve harsh and often inhumane work conditions for themselves,. . .
“The respectful, professional and swift negotiations for this agreement represent a growth in the relationship between the Association and the City.” WPA members will be getting a 5.8 per cent wage increase over three years (1.65 per cent in 2021, 1.85 per cent in 2022 and 2.3 per cent in 2023). Terms of the agreement will run retroactively to Jan. 1, 2021 as negotiations were postponed to Feb. 11, 2021 due to the municipal election in November 2020. The agreement also includes clarity of certain terms and conditions, such as Worker Compensation Benefits. The new agreement was signed May 3, and wages were based on comparisons to other Saskatchewan police associations. “In Weyburn, we have a police service that believes in the motto ‘Working Together for a Safer Community,’ and this was reflected in the professionalism that members on the bargaining team took,” said Ron McCormick, chair of the Board of Police Commissioners.
