Minimum wage increasing to $15.20 per hour on August 1

Effective August 1, 2021, Yukon’s minimum wage will increase to $15.20 per hour and future annual increases will be tied to inflation, as calculated using the Consumer Price Index.

These changes fulfil a commitment made by the Government in the April 2021 Confidence and Supply Agreement and come after Cabinet accepted an order from the Employment Standards Board.
