Data notes

Data structure and caveats.

Ontario salary disclosure, commonly known as the Ontario Sunshine List, can support responsible analysis when source limits, normalization choices, and platform-generated labels are explained clearly.

Read the Ontario Sunshine List explainer for a plain-language definition and responsible-use summary.

Disclosure fields

Salary paid and taxable benefits are disclosed fields. They should not be read as complete compensation or performance assessments.

Normalized categories

Employer names, role families, salary bands, and inferred places are organized for analysis and may require correction or review.

Responsible use

Use disclosure records with source attribution, methodology notes, and caution around outliers, partial-year records, and retroactive payments.
