2018 Public Sector Salary Disclosure
The Ontario Ministry of Finance has released its annual Public Sector Salary Disclosure (PSSD) list, also known as the “Sunshine List.” Click here to see the Ministry’s 2018 report.
First published in 1996, the list is produced annually by the Government of Ontario to provide taxpayers with the names, positions and salaries of those in the public sectors who earned more than $100,000 in salary and taxable benefits during the previous calendar year.
Hospitals are among the sectors covered by the Public Sector Salary Disclosure Act. Also included are colleges, municipalities and school boards.
In 2018, 38 Northumberland Hills Hospital (NHH) employees are on the PSSD list. An additional three individuals employed in regional roles by Seniors Care Network are also reported on NHH’s PSSD list. Per agreement with the Central East Local Health Integration Network (Central East LHIN), NHH acts as the paymaster for this organization which is based at NHH but serves the entire Central East region.
“Our hospital is committed to transparency and accountability,” said NHH Board Chair Elizabeth Selby. “As volunteer hospital governors, our Board takes its responsibility for setting executive compensation very seriously. We take multiple factors into account, including current market standards and hospital-specific requirements, to recruit and retain the leadership experience and talent required to provide direction for the clinical services our community requires.”
“As in previous years, NHH’s 2018 PSSD list includes a mix of front-line care providers—registered nurses (RNs and RPNs), nurse practitioners and diagnostic imaging technologists—as well as senior administrators and several regional leaders based at NHH,” said Linda Davis, President and Chief Executive Officer. “NHH values the work of all employees. It is vital for Ontario’s health care system to have strong, skilled, qualified individuals in place as hospitals work to address many difficult challenges, including heightened capacity issues, fiscal pressures, the complex and changing health care needs of an aging population and ongoing system transformation necessary to sustain services for the future.”
