Questions and answers
Why is Mark Benton QC on the executive compensation list?
Legal Aid BC paid Mark Benton QC $19,023 in 2023. British Columbia’s public employers must disclose everyone they paid $125,000 or more in a fiscal year, under the Public Sector Employers Act.
What is “total compensation”?
The one pay figure British Columbia publishes for each person for the fiscal year, shown as published. British Columbia does not publish taxable benefits separately, so none are shown. How the lists work
What do the comparisons mean?
Ranks and shares are among people on the same year’s list only: those with the same title, those at the same employer, or everyone listed. People paid under $125,000 are not on the list, so they are not counted.
How do I report a mistake or ask for a record to be removed?
Privacy and corrections explains both. Figures are shown exactly as British Columbia published them; we fix matching mistakes and handle removal requests there.
Years at different employers were matched because the name appears once on each year’s list with the same job or sector. Salary paid can include overtime, retroactive pay and one-time payments.
