1. Source normalization
Disclosure records are standardized around common fields: year, sector, employer, first name, last name, position, salary paid, and taxable benefits.
Methodology
How the analysis works.
This site starts with published Ontario public-sector salary disclosure rows and adds normalization, aggregation, and transparent role-family classification for public-interest analysis.
2. Role-family classification
Job titles are classified into broad role families using transparent keyword rules. This is a heuristic, not an official designation.
3. Inferred place
Ontario disclosure does not consistently provide a work location. The platform infers a place from employer names where possible and marks unresolved cases as not location-specific.
Data caveats
Salary paid and taxable benefits are the disclosed fields. The data can include retroactive payments, partial-year service, overtime, one-time payments, and multiple records for the same person across employers or roles. Median and average values should be interpreted as disclosed-record metrics, not full labour-market compensation statistics.
