This is public-sector compensation disclosure as published by covered organizations. It is not a general wage survey. Years are the year of the reporting period end, not the publication year. The 2025 source collection includes calendar 2025 and fiscal periods ending in 2025 or 2026; 2026 is not full calendar-year coverage. Published initials, employer spellings, and separate source rows are retained. Matching names do not establish identity. Reported amounts may include overtime or expenses; these figures are not typical base salaries. Role matching uses published title keywords and can include related roles.

Standard hours differ (TTC 40h/wk vs others 37.5h/wk), so annual figures are not directly comparable; BC and Alberta minimums are the trainee rate.
