How overtime works in Saskatchewan
Under Saskatchewan Employment Act, Part II, s. 2-12, an employee in Saskatchewan is entitled to overtime pay of 1.5× their regular hourly rate for every hour worked beyond the threshold.
Saskatchewan applies both a daily and a weekly threshold. Overtime is triggered once an employee works more than 8 hours in a single day or more than 40 hours in a week. Overtime hours are calculated as the greaterof daily or weekly excess — not the sum. Use the "day by day" input mode in the calculator above for an accurate result.
Special rules & edge cases
- •Modified work arrangements (e.g. four 10-hour days) must be approved before taking effect.
- •Managers are exempt from overtime under the Act.
