Pay Scale

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.

That is an indication that you chose either your profession, your employer, or your location poorly. Sounds like a personal problem.

Don't take it out on Thumper.

I hate you all. I made 4.75 on call which switch to 17/hour when the radio would go off. I think I just rememinded myself of one of the reasons why I left that service.

In Edmonton

EMT - $19.31 - $27.45

Paramedic - $22.99 - $32.39

Our shift differential is $1/hr

We are currently in negotiations and can probably reasonably assume to get at least 3-3.5%/year.

Yea... and unfortunately with all the Ornge changes going on... definately a cut back in services to the entire air ambulance system. Kind of reminds me of the late 80's and 90's era when we relied on only a few dedicated bases and nurses to do our jobs on all other flights.

I'm a medic in northern ontario... I work PCP in a remote community and I'm pulling in six figures annually. However, lots of oncall which includes call-backs and 3 man crews doing the work of 4 so lots of OT as well. I'm making more then the ACP(f) and some CCP(f) that come up for medivacs out of my community. However, they sleep, I don't have that luxery. But... a few months up here as a new grad, really helps relieve the debt load outta school. My hourly wage is $29.95/hr. The PCP job market is closing up in Ontario so the hourly wages may be great, but the hours for new hires are few and far between. I guess I'm lucky to have a full-time job. Might fight for the dark side soon and go fire, I hear they love medics. 8)

The "cut backs" are apparantly temporary, or so it would seem. There are some more fairly large changes coming down the tubes that should shake up the industry in other ways. Stay tuned, it will be an interesting year for the Ontario Air Ambulance system.
