Saskatchewan government looking at days off without pay for public sector
Unpaid days off for the public sector is being considered as the provincial government wrestles with a deficit.
The idea comes from Manitoba Premier Brian Pallister who is considering a similar move in his province.
Saskatchewan Finance Minister Kevin Doherty said he believes that option is more attractive than lowering wages.
“He’s talking about actually asking employees to take a day off unpaid without pay and it is something that would be under consideration here as well,” Doherty explained.
