Minimum wage officially increased in Sask, still lowest in the country

As of October 1, Saskatchewan’s minimum wage has officially increased to $13.

The increase was announced in May of this year by the Saskatchewan Government, which marked a departure from the indexation formula that would have been used to calculate changes.

It was also announced that the minimum wage would increase again at the start of October in 2023 to $14 and then again to $15 on October 1, 2024.

Although, Saskatchewan still has the lowest minimum wage in the country compared to all other provinces.
