A Memorandum of Agreement between eHealth Saskatchewan and the Saskatchewan Government and General Employees' Union (SGEU) Local 1579 has been ratified by both parties.
The agreement provides annual wage increases of 3 per cent, 3 per cent and 1.67 per cent. The renewed collective agreement is effective from Oct. 1, 2022 - Sept. 30, 2025.
