TORONTO–The CEO of Ontario Power Generation is the highest-paid public-sector employee in the province, earning nearly $1.2 million last year.
Jeff Lyash tops the so-called “sunshine list” of public-sector workers making $100,000 or more.
This year there are 123,410 workers on the list–up from 115,431 last year.
Those salaries and benefits total nearly $16 billion.
The next highest earner–and the only other person on the list who made more than $1 million–is William Moriarty, president and CEO of the University of Toronto Asset Management Corp., at about $1,046,000.
Meanwhile, the $4.5 million in pay received by Hydro One’s CEO will not be on the “sunshine list,” even though the province still owns 70 percent of it.
As soon as the initial shares were sold, Hydro One instead became a private company and only has to disclose the salaries of its CEO, CFO, and next three highest-paid executives.
