Transitioning from Hourly to Salary? Let’s do an apples-to-apples comparison:
If you're used to calculating your earnings by the hour, looking at a salary can feel different. Based on a standard 1,950-hour work year (40-hour scheduled week minus a 0.5-hour unpaid lunch each shift), here is how the real math stacks up:
Your Current Baseline: An hourly rate of $33/hr = approx. $64,350/year before deductions.
This Salaried Role: Likely to land in the range of $65,000 – $70,000/year (based on relevant experience) = approx. $33.33 – $35.90/hr (based on paid working hours).
Income Stability & Peace of Mind: Being paid on a salaried basis provides you with a steady, stable, and predictable income every single pay period. If your schedule requires you to work additional hours beyond a scheduled 40 hours per week, please know that those hours will always be managed professionally and in strict accordance with Employment Standards.
But the math doesn't stop there. Consider the Total Rewards:
Hourly Reality: If you are an hourly employee and you stay home sick or take a wellness day, you may lose a day's pay (provincial ESA-dependent).
✅ Salaried Reality: You receive dedicated paid sick days and wellness days so your income never takes a hit when you need to rest or recharge.
➕ The Perks: This role includes full health benefits, an RRSP program, stock options, and annual bonus potential - extra compensation that hourly rates/roles may not include. Professional fees (license, liability insurance) are also covered)
If you're looking for better stability, higher earning potential, and a true step forward in your career, apply today. We’ll gladly map out the whole package so you can see exactly how this move benefits you!
What else is in it for you?

This is a non-union setting and parking on-site is ample and free.
Benefits from Day One: Full benefits package starting from day one, with the ability to choose your level of coverage at the start of your employment.
Annual Bonus Potential: Prorated based on your start date - we are happy to provide more details about this annual incentive!
