MINIMUM WAGE INCREASES IN MAY

Released on April 22, 2008

Saskatchewan's minimum wage will increase from $8.25 per hour to $8.60 per hour effective May 1, 2008.

The increase is the second of three stages that will see the minimum wage increase to $9.25 per hour in 2009. The minimum call-out pay, which is three times the level of the minimum wage, will also increase accordingly.

There are approximately 12,400 minimum wage earners in Saskatchewan.

The increase in the minimum wage follows a review by the Saskatchewan Minimum Wage Board. The Board is required by legislation to review the minimum wage at least every two years.
