The $85,000 line has not changed since 2023. Each year the same line catches more people as pay rises with inflation; why that matters.

Questions and answers

How many people are on Manitoba’s 2025 Sunshine List?

46,701 people paid $85,000 or more in 2025, at 119 employers, +8.5% on 2024 (43,040 people).

What is the median salary on the 2025 list?

$110,965: half the people on the list were paid more and half less. It is the median of people paid $85,000 or more, not of every public employee.

Who was the highest-paid public employee in Manitoba in 2025?

N Aery, Physician at Northern Regional Health Authority, with a salary of $1,286,942. See the top 100.

Which employer has the most people on the list?

Shared Health, with 6,422 people in 2025.

Why does the list get longer every year?

The $85,000 line was set in 2023 and has never been indexed to inflation, so pay rising with prices carries more people over it each year.

When was the 2025 Sunshine List released?

In 2026. Each list covers the salaries paid in one year and is published after it ends.

When did the Sunshine List start?

The earliest list on this site covers 2020: 37,044 people. Each year’s list is published after the year ends.

What is “total compensation”?

The one pay figure Manitoba publishes for each person for the year, shown as published. Manitoba does not publish taxable benefits separately, so none are shown. How the lists work

Why is someone not on the list?

Only people paid $85,000 or more in the year are listed, and only by the public employers the Public Sector Compensation Disclosure Act covers. Someone paid less that year, or working elsewhere, does not appear.

How do I report a mistake or ask for a record to be removed?

See Privacy and corrections. Figures are shown exactly as Manitoba published them; we fix matching mistakes and handle removal requests there.
