Biggest Year-over-Year Increases
1997 → 1998

No qualifying raises were computed for the 1998 Sunshine List.

A year-over-year increase or decrease in disclosed pay can include overtime, a retroactive payment, a vacation payout or severance, not only a change in base pay, rate, or role — the Sunshine List discloses total salary paid that year, not a pay rate. This list is ranked by the dollar increase, not by the percentage shown.

1,262 people were new to Ontario Hydro's list in 1998; 713 who were on it in 1997 were not. See the full 1998 roster →
