North York General is committed to being open and transparent with its stakeholders and the general public. Further to the hospital’s commitment is our compliance with the Broader Public Sector Accountability Act, 2010. This act was created in part, to strengthen and reinforce accountability, transparency and oversight of hospital expense claims. NYGH will create reports which will include information regarding travel, meal, and hospitality expenses made by our President & CEO and members of our Senior Leadership Team. This public disclosure will continue on a semi-annual basis.
Each year, since the Public Sector Salary Disclosure Act was passed in 1996, the Ontario Government has published a compendium on public sector employees who earn $100,000 or more. Organizations that receive public funding from the Province are required to disclose the names, positions, salaries and taxable benefits of these employees.
As part of the Hospital Reporting Directive under the Broader Public Sector Accountability Act (the “Directive”), hospitals are required to publicly report on the use of consultants, in prescribed form, as set out in this document. Under the Directive, hospitals are required to report by June 30 each year, for the preceding fiscal year, effective June 30, 2012.
North York General Hospital has a comprehensive executive compensation program which is supported by an executive talent management and performance planning approach.
Performance Assessment Components:
Talent Management Assessment
In 2008 North York General implemented the Ontario Hospital Association (OHA) Talent Management Program. This program has been in place since then and includes an annual assessment of the senior team members’ demonstration of executive leadership competencies
Executive Compensation Quality Improvement Plan
As a result of the Excellent Care For All Act, a performance-based plan was implemented effective April 1, 2011 for the Senior
Leadership Team based on the following target measures:
Quality Improvement Plan Targets
Organizational Achievement of a Balanced Budget
Specific Individual Attainment of Specific Objectives
For each of our executives, a percentage of compensation is linked to achievement of performance targets, which will be used to determine the magnitude of the performance allocation.
New Framework (BPSECA)
Established under the Broader Public Sector Executive Compensation Act, 2014, the Executive Compensation Framework regulation most recently updated in August 2018, sets out requirements for all BPS employers. For further information relating to the New Framework, please visit the Government of Ontario website.
Ontario’s Broader Public Sector Accountability Act, 2010 (BPSAA) sets new rules and accountabilities for hospitals, Local Health Integration Networks (LHINs) and other public sector organizations.
As part of the BPSAA, all hospitals in Ontario, including North York General Hospital (NYGH), were required to implement new Expense and Procurement Directives by April 1, 2011.
The new Procurement Directive strengthens our previous procurement guidelines and procedures by clarifying that:
Any procurement of consultants must follow the procedures of an open and competitive process regardless of the contract dollar value.
The CEO must approve any sole or single sourcing of consultants.

Working in partnership with our Finance Department our submission was forwarded to the province. A list of North York General Hospital employees paid $100,000 or more in 2022 (salary and benefits reported to Revenue Canada for 2022 T4 statements issued by the hospital) was shared, in keeping with the Public Sector Salary Disclosure Act. A copy is also available through the Corporate Communications and Public Affairs office.
