Saskatchewan minimum wage going up, Alberta left at bottom

The Saskatchewan government says minimum wage workers will get a 35 cent per hour raise this fall.

Officials say minimum wage will be $15.35 per hour starting on Oct. 1.

Labour Relations Minister Jim Reiter said the increase will have benefits for employees and notes the province also wants to create a balance for employers.

He said meetings will be held over the next few months with key stakeholders to “understand the implications” of the raise.
