Biggest Year-over-Year Increases

Eleanor Clitheroe at Hydro One had the largest increase in disclosed pay on the 2001 Sunshine List: $1,249,598 to $1,622,228, up 29.8%.
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.
