Sask. minimum wage up to $10.20/hour

Oct 1, 2014 | 1:00 PM

Starting Wednesday, those earning minimum wage in Saskatchewan will be earning a little bit more.

The province has increased minimum wage to $10.20 per hour, a hike of 20 cents. 

“Saskatchewan’s economy has been growing and it is important that the minimum wage increases as well,” Labour Relations and Workplace Safety Minister Don Morgan said in a statement.

New regulations were passed by the government this spring; changes to wages must be announced prior to June 30 to take effect on October 1.

This is the sixth time the Saskatchewan Party government has raised minimum wage. However, some argue the wage remains too low to support an average family.
