Calculate your statutory holiday pay in Saskatchewan using the official Employment Standards formula. See the Saskatchewan stat holiday calendar 2026 for the dates, or jump to the national stat pay calculator to compare provinces.
5% of wages earned in last 4 weeks (28 days)
Stat pay = 5% of total wages earned in the 4 weeks before the holiday. Saskatchewan has the simplest and most generous formula in Canada.
Your Saskatchewan stat pay
$200.00
Base stat pay
$200.00
Take a worker earning $25/hour for 40 hours/week for the 4 weeks before the holiday. Total wages over the lookback period: $4000.00. Applying the Saskatchewan formula gives a stat pay of $200.00. If they also work the holiday, they get an additional $300.00 in premium pay.
Virtually all employees qualify — Saskatchewan has no minimum service requirement.
Stat pay PLUS 1.5× regular rate for hours worked on the holiday.
You still get stat pay equal to 5% of last 4 weeks' wages.
Excluding overtime, commissions, or shift premiums from the '4 weeks of wages' calculation. They all count.
The Saskatchewan Employment Standards Act applies uniformly across the province — these rules cover workers in Saskatoon, Regina, Prince Albert, Moose Jaw and everywhere else. Workers in federally regulated industries (banks, airlines, telecoms, federal Crown corporations) follow the federal stat pay rules regardless of city.
