Questions and answers

Why is someone who works at Sinai Health System not on this list?

Only people paid $100,000 or more in 2021 are listed. Everyone else at Sinai Health System that year was paid less.

What are taxable benefits?

The benefits the employer reported as taxable for the year. They are listed separately and are not part of the salary figure.

How do I see all 669 people?

The table opens with the top 200. “Show all 669” loads everyone, and the filter finds a name or job among them.

What does “salary paid” include?

What the employer paid in the calendar year, so it can include overtime, retroactive pay, vacation payouts, severance or a partial year. Taxable benefits are listed separately. How the lists work
