![[Canada] Changes to Saskatchewan minimum wage formula](http://gpa.net/cdn/shop/articles/bigstock-Legislature-8221774_6fafb463-be1a-4625-b20e-1e64c5942f09_1200x.jpg?v=1752801176)
In Canada, the Saskatchewan government will re-engage the formulaic approach for annual minimum wage increases used before 2022, MLT Aikins reports.
In 2022, 2023 and 2024, the Saskatchewan government implemented specific annual increases to minimum wage, leading to the minimum wage rising from $11.81 in 2022 to $15.00 in 2024.
On October 1, 2025, the hourly minimum wage will reportedly increase to $15.35.
Under the Minimum Wage Regulations, increases to the minimum wage are determined by a formula which weighs changes to the consumer price index and average hourly salary reflected in the prior year.
Saskatchewan employers paying the current minimum wage will need to ensure payroll processes are updated before October 1, 2025, in order to reflect the new $15.35 per hour minimum wage.
