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.”
