The Sunshine List

[sheetsofemptycanvas]

The health care system would absolutely fall apart without them. Also have to add that after my dad's recent stay in the hospital orderlies are taking on more and more tasks that nurses used to do as well.

Sorry, off topic, but was it orderlies or PSW's that were taking on some of the work load? I know that more and more hospitals are hiring them on (keeping my fingers crossed that I can get into one!)

As for the subject of the thread... I really don't see the point in the list, why do we need to know how much people are making? Just my opiniong

I think it's nice to know where your tax dollars are going. You can vote as to whether you like their salary/use of your money.

capitalism at it's finest.
i don't agree with some of the wages people make but if you can get it, more power to you.

The Sun Shine list does not list private salaries like family doctors, lawyers, CEOs, CEO's bonuses etc. who can easily make much more.

cant put drs on that list. they bill the province so technically are public sector employees.

I saw a few people I know on the list. Some surprised me that they made so much!
They must be working night and day.
I think TTC employees deserve the high pay they get. It looks like a stressful job facing the traffic and the people day after day. I use the ttc and sitting in a bus with no seat belt, I fully appreciate getting home safe each day. Kudos to them and all the people who make the day to day things safer and more convenient for all of us.

Not sure what you call them in english but in french they are called "prepose", in the "old days" I guess they were called orderlies.

What's a PSW?

Doctors working at health clinics that are funded by the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care are on the list. So if a doctor is working at a family health team or community health center, their salary can be disclosed, over 100,000.

So on the 2013 list, a physician at the Barrie Community Family Health Team had made $2xx,xxx.xx.
