Questions and answers
Why is Melissa Royle Critch on the compensation disclosure list?

What is “total compensation”?
The one pay figure Newfoundland and Labrador publishes for each person for the calendar year, shown as published. Newfoundland and Labrador 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 $100,000 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 Newfoundland and Labrador 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.
