The Government of Saskatchewan has accepted the recommendations of the 2011 Provincial Court Commission regarding salary increases and benefits for Provincial Court judges. The 2011 Commission, chaired by William F. Hood, Q.C., held public hearings in Saskatoon and Regina. As a result of these hearings and submissions from interested parties and the public, the Commission recommended a salary increase equal to the Saskatchewan Consumer Price Index, plus an additional one per cent for each of the three fiscal years between April 1, 2012 and March 31, 2015. Provincial Court judges are currently paid $238,943 annually.

The Commission also recommended an increase of $150 to the judges' annual professional allowance.
