Questions and answers

Why is Sourav Ray on the disclosure list?

McMaster University paid Sourav Ray $121,976 in 2022. 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 do the comparisons mean?
