As of October 1, 2021, the minimum wage in Saskatchewan will
increase from $11.45 per hour to $11.81 per hour.
Following its annual review of the province's minimum wage,
the Government of Saskatchewan calculated the 36-cent increase
using an indexation formula that gives equal weight to changes in
the Consumer Price Index and the average hourly wage within
Saskatchewan.
"Dealing with COVID-19 over the past year and a half has
been a difficult time for everyone in Saskatchewan," said
Labour Relations and Workplace Safety Minister Don Morgan. He
further commented that the provincial government's framework
ensures its support for both businesses and workers into
Saskatchewan's post-pandemic recovery. Minister Morgan
expressed optimism in the impact sustainable and predicable minimum
wage increases will have on the province's return to
normal.
