Transitioning from Hourly Pay to Salary? Not sure how to compare the two? We can help - 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-paid hours worked each year (i.e. 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 $23/hr = approx. $44,850/year before deductions (if your current rate of pay is different, use your current rate to do this calculation).

This Salaried Role: Likely to land in the range of $50,000 – $55,000/year (based on relevant experience) = approx. $25.64 – $28.20/hr (based on 37.5 paid working hours), before deductions. If you are usually paid for 40 hours, use the approprirate numbers for this calculation.

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 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.

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?

Secure & Permanent: A permanent position in a thriving pharmacy.

No Retail Pressure: This location is closed to walk-in patients. Patient service occurs using telecommunication for the most part (though some patients may come to reception to pick up medications).
