Saskatchewan’s 2021 payee disclosure: every disclosed public-sector compensation for the year, with top earners, sectors, and employers.
In 2021, 18,565 employees at 39 Saskatchewan public-sector employers were disclosed on the province’s payee disclosure (FY 2020-21, the fiscal year ending in 2021). The average disclosed compensation was $92,729 and the median was $82,237 — the disclosure covers only employees above the $50,000 threshold in force that year, not the entire public-sector workforce.
Compared with 2020, the list grew by 76 names (+0.4%, from 18,489 to 18,565), and the average disclosed compensation rose 2% from $90,908.
The highest-paid person on the 2021 list was Blair Swystun at Crown Investments Corporation, at $973,463. The full top 25 is below; for interactive filtering of all 18,565 records, use the data explorer or see the Saskatchewan dashboard for the latest year.
Saskatchewan figures combine the CIC Crown corporations with core government (every General Revenue Fund employee paid $50,000+, from Public Accounts Volume 2), reported on a fiscal-year basis (e.g. 2024 = the year ending March 31, 2024). Both sources cover every year shown here (FY 2018-19 onward), so the $50,000 threshold and the covered population are consistent across years.
