The Executive Pay-for-Performance Plan (EPPP) is part of a total compensation package that positions Saskatchewan to be able to attract and retain health care leaders who can ensure the delivery of quality health care to the province's residents. The number of performance targets vary between health regions. If performance targets are not met, executives can lose up to 10% of their base salaries. If performance targets are exceeded, executives can earn up to a maximum of 10% additional pay. An executive's final rate of annual pay will be somewhere between 90% and 110% of base salary, determined by his or her specific combination of targets missed, met, and exceeded.

Performance measures have been chosen to ensure that executives have clear targets in line with provincial health system and regional priorities. 50% of the plan value is based on province-wide (system) goals established by the Ministry of Health in consultation with RHAs and the SCA. 30% of the plan is based on organizational measures established by the Board of each RHA/SCA in consultation with its CEO. 10% of the plan value is based on the patient satisfaction, and 10% of the plan value is based on an assessment of executive behaviours or competencies linked to organizational and system values.

Executive pay for performance is composed of both system wide measures as well as regional health authority specific organizational measures including patient satisfaction and behaviour measures. While many of the organizational measures would appear to be either the same or similar, the actual tools and the associated metrics used may be different between regional health authorities and as a consequence results will vary. Any comparisons of results need to take this into consideration.

Each RHA/SCA shall post on their websites the Pay for Performance information for each plan member. Specific information is posted in the files below.
