Pharmacist

Pharmacists and pharmacy managers in public sector hospitals and health authorities.

Disclosed compensation is not typical base pay. Provincial disclosure thresholds, coverage, reporting years and overtime differ. Figures below count matching records, not unique employees. Each province shows its selected imported reporting year. Manitoba years follow the period end and may combine fiscal and calendar disclosures.

Hospital pharmacist base salary grid

Staff hospital pharmacist (grid entry step to top step) under each province’s health-authority collective agreement; excludes clinical-specialist/management variants, overtime and premiums. Alberta’s higher figure partly reflects a longer standard work-week (38.75h vs 37.5h). Manitoba omitted — no ratified public wage scale.
