Biggest Year-over-Year Increases
2010 → 2011

Thomas Mitchell at Ontario Power Generation had the largest increase in disclosed pay on the 2011 Sunshine List: $1,325,119 to $1,824,000, up 37.6%.

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.
