About the NL Compensation Disclosure

Published by the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador

What is the Compensation Disclosure?

The Newfoundland and Labrador Compensation Disclosure is a public report of employees in the provincial public sector whose total compensation exceeded $100,000 during a fiscal year. It is published by the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador through the Treasury Board Secretariat.

Unlike Ontario's Sunshine List which only reports salary and taxable benefits, the NL disclosure provides a detailed breakdown of compensation including base salary, overtime, bonuses, shift premiums, retroactive pay, severance, and other compensation — giving a more complete picture of total public sector pay.

Who is Included?

The disclosure covers employees of public sector organizations in Newfoundland and Labrador, including:

  • Provincial government departments and agencies
  • Crown corporations
  • Regional health authorities
  • Memorial University of Newfoundland
  • College of the North Atlantic
  • School districts
  • Nalcor Energy and subsidiaries
  • Other publicly funded organizations

Employees must have received total compensation exceeding $100,000 during the fiscal year to be included. Total compensation includes all categories: base salary, overtime, bonuses, shift premiums, retroactive pay, severance, and other compensation.

What Information is Disclosed?

For each qualifying employee, the disclosure includes:

  • Base salary — regular salary or wages
  • Overtime — overtime pay earned
  • Bonuses — performance or other bonuses
  • Shift premium — additional pay for shift work
  • Retroactive pay — back pay from contract settlements
  • Severance — severance or termination pay
  • Other compensation — any other taxable compensation
  • Total compensation — the sum of all categories above

This level of detail is more comprehensive than most other Canadian provinces, which typically only report salary and taxable benefits.
