Why Overtime Matters in NL

Newfoundland & Labrador's disclosure reports compensation across seven distinct columns: base salary, overtime, bonuses, shift premium, retroactive pay, severance, and other compensation. Many of the top earners — particularly physicians and senior nursing staff — have base salaries below the headline figure, with overtime and other components making up a substantial share of total pay.

Among these top 25 earners, the average non-base compensation is $295,384, equivalent to 118% on top of the average base. This is why we rank by total compensation rather than salary alone — it's the more honest measure of what someone actually took home.

How Do the Top Earners Compare?

Across all 13,802 disclosed records in 2025, the average base salary is $110,204. The #1 earner's total compensation is roughly 6x the average base salary across the disclosure.
