ONTARIO'S SUNSHINE LIST

TORONTO -- Hospital overtime during COVID-19 and pandemic pay landed many of Ontario’s registered nurses onto the 2020 Sunshine List, which discloses the number of publicly-paid employees who earned a six-figure salary.

The Progressive Conservative government said the list also saw a massive jump in the number of teachers earning $100,000 or more last year – contributing to a dramatic rise in the overall amount of public employees on the Sunshine List.

This year's list saw more than 200,000 people pulling in six-figure salaries -- a 23 per cent increase from 2019 – and the government said nearly 75 per cent of that growth came from the hospital and school board sectors.
