Responsible use

How to use the data responsibly.

This site is designed for transparency, analysis, benchmarking, journalism, governance, and civic research — not for allegations or casual speculation.

  • Start from the source.Use the official Ontario salary disclosure context and review the source page before citing figures.
  • Compare like with like.Use sectors, employers, role families, medians, and salary bands together rather than relying on a single outlier.
  • Avoid allegations.Appearing in salary disclosure does not imply misconduct, excess, scandal, or any allegation.
  • Respect caveats.Salary paid can include overtime, retroactive payments, one-time payments, partial-year records, and duplicate appearances.
  • Flag corrections.Role-family and inferred-place labels are platform-generated heuristics; use the privacy/corrections route for review requests.
