Paramedic / EMT
Paramedics, emergency medical technicians, and advanced care paramedics in public emergency services.
Disclosed compensation is not typical base pay. Provincial disclosure thresholds, coverage, reporting years and overtime differ. Figures below count matching records, not unique employees. Each province shows its selected imported reporting year. Manitoba years follow the period end and may combine fiscal and calendar disclosures.
