Questions and answers

Why is Gary Couture on the disclosure list?

Ontario Provincial Police paid Gary Couture $113,051 in 2020. Ontario’s public employers must disclose everyone they paid $100,000 or more in a calendar year, under the Public Sector Salary Disclosure Act, 1996.

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

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 Ontario 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. Figures are exactly as Ontario published them. How we match years · Report a mistake or ask for removal
