Tom Parkinson at Hydro One had the largest increase in disclosed pay on the 2003 Sunshine List: $557,201 to $999,042, up 79.3%.
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.
