Biggest Year-over-Year Increases
2013 → 2014

Donn W. Hanbidge at Ontario Power Generation had the largest increase in disclosed pay on the 2014 Sunshine List: $664,974 to $1,208,156, up 81.7%.

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.
