Hamiltonians are finding out how many of the city's public employees earned more than $100,000 in 2014, as the province released its annual list of highest salaries Friday morning.
Dubbed the "Sunshine List," it chronicles every provincial public servant — from organizations like the crown agencies and municipalities to universities and hospitals — whose paycheque exceeds six figures.
CBC Hamilton is tallying the numbers. Here's a summary by organizations and how the numbers compare with the previous years. It will be updated as soon as more data become available.
Hospitals and boards of public health
Hundreds of Hamilton health-care professionals made the list, including 617 from Hamilton Health Sciences, which went up 54 per cent compared to the previous year. St. Joe's saw 229 names on the latest list, down slightly from 2013.
The top earner from HHS was its president and CEO Robert MacIsaac, who was paid $755,715.53 in salary 2014. With taxable benefits, his total earning was more than $757,000.
MacIsaac's predecessor Murray Martin, who stepped down from HHS's top job in early 2014, took in a bigger haul than any other public earner in the city in 2013, according to the previous Sunshine List.
St. Joe's CEO Kevin Smith earned $648,044.78 in salary and $76,696.52 in benefits in 2014.
In 2013, the top 10 highest paid public employees in Hamilton were almost exclusively in the city's health industry. Nine out of the 10 top earners in Hamilton were with Hamilton Health Sciences, St. Joseph's Health System, St. Peter's Hospital, and McMaster University's health departments.
Municipalities and services
2014 numbers to come.
The 2013 list named 848 employees from the City of Hamilton, 30 more than the year before.
School boards
2014 numbers to come.
Hundreds of educators from the city's big school boards made the 2013 list, including 237 with the Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board and 156 with the Hamilton-Wentworth Catholic District School Board.
Colleges and universities
2014 numbers to come
$100K threshold too low?
The Sunshine List was brought in under the Mike Harris-led Progressive Conservative government in 1996. At the time, Harris said it served as an important check on the public payroll.
The Public Salary Disclosure Act requires organizations that receive public funding from the province to disclose annually the names, positions, salaries and total taxable benefits of employees paid $100,000 or more in a calendar year.
Each year the list gets longer — there were 97,796 names on last year's list — raising calls that the $100,000 benchmark should be raised. The list includes everyone from police, to school board administers, to hospital executives and municipal employees.
The act applies to organizations such as the Government of Ontario, Crown agencies, municipalities, hospitals, public health boards, school boards, universities, colleges, Hydro One, Ontario Power Generation, and other public sector employers who receive a significant level of funding from the provincial government.
Since then, there have been calls to raise the $100,000 salary threshold.
The Sunshine List also lays bare the salaries of the province's top bureaucrats. The heads of large provincial bodies such as Ontario Power Generation and Ontario Hydro often top the list.
