In this white paper:
ERI’s Canadian Executive Compensation Index is a quarterly report that measures trends in executive compensation using 800 publicly traded companies in Canada.
These organizations were ranked in the top 1,000 public Canadian companies by market capitalization in both 2013 and 2014.
The median revenue for the index increased by 15% from 2013 to 2014. In 2014, the median revenue for companies in the index was just over C$40 million.
The mid and large-cap groups saw a median total direct increase of 4.4% and 5.5%, respectively, over 2013. However, executives in the 75th percentile of the large market cap group experienced a 5% decrease in total direct compensation.
In the United States, stock awards are an increasingly popular component of direct compensation, with 76% of Russell 3000 CEOs earning some full-stock value in 2014. However, the percentage of U.S. CEOs who have received an option award has gradually decreased from 55% in 2010 to approximately47% in 2014.
