Questions and answers
How much has the list grown since 2007?
From 4,538 people in 2007 to 22,383 in 2026. The $75,000 line has never been indexed to inflation, so rising pay carries more people over it each year.
When is each year’s list published?
After the year it covers ends, usually the following year.
What is “gross salary”?
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
