What This Disclosure Covers

This combines Saskatchewan's two salary disclosures. The Crown sector — SaskPower, SaskTel, Saskatchewan Government Insurance (SGI), SaskEnergy, the Saskatchewan Water Corporation, Lotteries and Gaming Saskatchewan, and other CIC subsidiaries — comes from the annual Payee Disclosure Report tabled with the Standing Committee on Crown and Central Agencies. The core government — every General Revenue Fund employee at the ministries and legislative offices paid $50,000 or more — comes from Public Accounts Volume 2. The Saskatchewan Health Authority, school divisions and the universities are in neither report.

The disclosure threshold is $50,000 of remuneration paid during the fiscal year (April 1 – March 31). Unlike a base-salary list, these are the actual amounts paid — including salary holdbacks, payments in lieu of notice, vacation payouts, and other taxable benefits — so a one-time payout can lift someone's total for a single year.

How Do the Top Earners Compare?

Across all 21,474 disclosed records in fiscal 2024-25, the average remuneration is $104,310. The #1 earner sits at roughly 5× the average. The biggest figures split between the chief executives of the larger Crown corporations and a handful of specialised government roles — forensic pathologists at Justice and the province's senior medical officers among them.

What the Disclosure Doesn't Show

The health and education workforces are missing: the Saskatchewan Health Authority, school divisions and Saskatchewan Polytechnic appear only in the separate Compendium of Payee Details, and the universities publish no named list. Note the two sources are compiled on slightly different bases — Crown figures exclude the employer-paid portion of pensions and benefits while Volume 2's government figures include pension and public-sector benefits — and amounts earned in one year but paid in another are reported when paid, so year-over-year comparisons for an individual should be made with caution.
