On April 30, 2025, the Nunavut government published amendments to the territory’s Wages Regulations.
The current minimum wage of $19.00 per hour will remain in effect until August 31, 2025. Starting September 1 of each year, Nunavut will begin adjusting its hourly minimum wage annually.
Under the new rules, the territory must publish the revised minimum wage by July 31 each year, with the new rate taking effect on September 1. This change aligns Nunavut with the Northwest Territories, which also updates its minimum wage annually on September 1.
