MINIMUM WAGE TO INCREASE TODAY

In April, the Government of Saskatchewan will increase the province's minimum wage from $10 to $10.20 per hour effective October 1, 2014.  The Government also announced it would introduce regulations to provide for regular indexing of the minimum wage each year.



Highlights of the new minimum wage regulation will include:
  • Indexation formula will be based on the equal weighting of the percentage changes in the Consumer Price Index and Average Hourly Wage for the previous year.
  • A change in the minimum wage will be announced on or before June 30 of each year, with that change coming in effect on October 1 of the same year
