About the BC Public Accounts Compensation Disclosure

Published by the Government of British Columbia under the Financial Information Act

What data is shown here?

This site combines two British Columbia public compensation disclosures, both required by law:

  1. BC Public Accounts — Core Government Employees ($75,000+). Published under the Financial Information Act, this is the detailed schedule of payments from the Consolidated Revenue Fund (CRF) titled "Other Employees." It lists every provincial ministry employee paid directly from the CRF who earned $75,000 or more in the fiscal year.
  2. Public Sector Executive Compensation Disclosures. Published under the Public Sector Employers Act, this covers the CEO and top-four highest-paid executives ("Named Executive Officers") at every BC public sector body: crown corporations, universities, colleges, health authorities, school districts, and agencies.

Both disclosures are made on a fiscal year basis (April 1 – March 31 for most employers; July 1 – June 30 for school districts). On this site, a record dated "FY 2024-25" covers the year ending in 2025.

Who is included — and who is not

Included:

  • All core BC government (ministry) employees earning $75,000+
  • CEO + top 4 executives at all crown corporations (BC Hydro, ICBC, WorkSafeBC, BC Lottery, BC Ferries, etc.)
  • CEO + top 4 executives at universities (UBC, SFU, UVic, BCIT, etc.)
  • CEO + top 4 executives at all 60 BC school districts
  • CEO + top 4 executives at health authorities (Fraser Health, VCH, PHSA, etc.)
  • CEO + top 4 executives at colleges and public sector agencies

Not yet included: non-executive employees ($75K+) at crown corporations, universities, health authorities, and school districts. Each body publishes its own Statement of Financial Information (SOFI) separately under the FIA — typically as a standalone PDF. Integrating those hundreds of separate reports is a planned future addition.

Also not included: municipalities and police forces, which publish their own SOFIs separately.

What compensation is reported?

CRF Other Employees schedule (core government): only gross salary (remuneration) is reported. Expense reimbursements are published in a separate schedule not included here.

Executive Compensation Disclosures: base salary plus incentive compensation, benefits, pension, and "other" amounts, summed to total compensation. This is why some executive total amounts are meaningfully higher than base salary.

Coverage

Core government (CRF): fiscal years ending 2011 through 2025 (15 years). Executive disclosures (PSEC): fiscal years ending 2017 through 2025 (9 years). Earlier PSEC filings exist on the BC government portal but use a legacy HTML layout without machine-readable sector metadata; those are not yet parsed.
