MINIMUM WAGE BOARD REVIEWING TWO REGULATIONS

Released on February 10, 2006

Saskatchewan's Minimum Wage Board has announced it will conduct a review of provincial regulations dealing with the minimum age for employment and the requirement that transportation home be provided for certain employees. The Board will also consider issues related to the employment sectors to which the regulations will apply.

The Board will receive written submissions from February 15th to May 1st.

In Saskatchewan, the minimum age for employment in hotels, restaurants, educational institutions, hospitals and nursing homes is 16 years of age. As well, employers must provide employees in those workplaces who finish work between the hours of 12:30 a.m. and 7:00 a.m. local time with transportation home. The Minimum Wage Board will receive written submissions from employers and workers about whether these regulations should be changed.

In announcing the review, the Board today released a discussion paper that it hopes will serve to encourage public discussion of the issues involved. "As these regulations have not been reviewed in more than 20 years, we believe a review is appropriate at this time," Saskatchewan Minimum Wage Board chair John Yeo said. "We are particularly interested to hear from young workers because young people hold the key to future prosperity in Saskatchewan and a great many of them are directly affected by these regulations."

The Board expects input on issues such as whether there needs to be any minimum age for employment, whether employers should have to provide transportation home for late-night employees and whether the types of workplaces to which these regulations apply (hotels, restaurants, educational institutions, hospitals and nursing homes) should be increased, reduced, or left the same.
