Pay Scale

[sledogg1]

Just wondering what PCP, ACP'S make out there...................I am a ACP in Nova Scotia Canada and make $21.60 an hr and that is of a 2.9% raise after waiting for a new contract for 2 yrs. New one next year..........hope it is a good one. Not being nosey just seeing what we deserve and we have a union meeting next week with IUOE.

PCP from Ontario. Top rate for PCP in my service is $33.18/hour (increases on April 1, 2007 to $35.30/hour).

Top rate for ACP currently is $35.89/hour and increases to $37.88/hour on April 1, 2007.

We are on the high side compared to most services in Ontario, but I would guess that average PCP wage would be about $30/hour. You guys definitely deserve more than $21.60.

Good luck.

In all fairness, it is a hell of a lot cheaper to live anywhere in NS then it is in southern Ontario. Although your milk is a little over priced for some reason. Cow shortage?

Hi all. Here in Newfoundland average rate for Rural PCP's is $13.00/hr, with hospital based medics making around $18.00. Cost of living is a little lower here but not much.

I wouldn't complain about 22 an hour when some are only averaging 8- 13 :roll:

Thanks guys for your reply............Thumper what the hell is your problem..........cost of living here has gone up here the most in Canada over the last 3 yrs.

So before you shoot off your useless yap do your research.

In BC

PCP: Full time about $29.00-32.00/hr.

ACP: Start at $32.00/hr and goes up to around $40.00/hr for CCP flight paramedic, maybe a bit more.

We also get a shift adjustment paid on top of hour hourly wage. I don't know about PCP but for ACP it is around another $240.00 a paycheck.

[nwoparamedics]

$240.00 a paycheck.

Wow... now that's a sweet shift differential. :wink:

We make about $.65/hr for Nights, same for weekends (about $52 extra per pay?)
