At Brockville General, patient care is our top priority. To deliver safe, high quality care, we spend the majority of our operating budget on patient care and services. As a result, less than 1.2% of our operating dollars are designated towards executive compensation. But how we spend these dollars on our executives is important.
Brockville General needs effective leadership for our front line staff and high-performing, strategic executives at our senior leadership table. To attract and retain the talented, innovative leadership that the Hospital needs, we must provide a fair and competitive Executive Compensation Program.
The Government of Ontario, following an eight year pay freeze, laid out the framework for the Executive Compensation Program. This new structure applies to a range of public sector organizations, including hospitals, universities, colleges, school boards, and several other public bodies. The framework explains how executive salary structures are reviewed, approved and communicated.
Key changes of the Executive Compensation Program include limitations on executive salary and performance-related pay, which is now limited at no more than the 50th percentile of appropriate comparators. In addition, signing bonuses and pay in lieu of perquisites are prohibited.
Unlike other organizations in our community, the Hospital operates 24 hours a day, every day of the year. Our executives are responsible for the care of our community when they are at their most vulnerable. Our leaders are often on call and accountable to our patients and staff. The Executive Compensation Program includes the following:
- President and CEO
- Chief of Staff
- Vice Presidents
Our Board of Directors has been carefully considering the new requirements of the Broader Public Sector Executive Compensation Act (2014) and the subsequent Regulation 400/1 which came into effect in November 2017. This draft Executive Compensation Program ensures that the hospital is compliant with these requirements.
