On March 28, the Ontario government released the salaries of Ontario Public Service and broader public sector employees who were paid $100,000 or more in 2023.

The largest year-over-year increases were in the hospitals, municipalities and services, and post-secondary sectors, which together represented approximately 80 per cent of the growth of the list.

The Public Sector Salary Disclosure Act, 1996 requires organizations that receive public funding from the Province of Ontario to make public by March 31 each year the names, positions, salaries, and total taxable benefits of employees paid $100,000 or more in the previous calendar year.

The Act applies to the provincial government, Crown agencies and corporations, Ontario Power Generation and subsidiaries, publicly funded organizations such as hospitals, municipalities, school boards, universities and colleges, and not-for-profit organizations that receive $1 million or more or receive between $120,000 and $1 million if the provincial government funding they receive is 10 per cent or more of their gross revenues.

The 2023 data is available in a downloadable, machine-readable, sortable, searchable table format on
