An executive who parted ways with the City of Regina in March 2022 was paid more than $185,000 by the city in the year after her dismissal.
That figure made Diana Hawryluk the City of Regina's 36th-highest-paid employee in 2023, even though she did not work for Regina that year.
Hawryluk was a city employee for more than 10 years before she and the city mutually agreed to "part ways" in March 2022.
In a statement, the City of Regina said Hawryluk's remuneration was negotiated to be paid out over multiple fiscal years, with the last payment in 2023.
"So she would have received some portion of salary in 2022 and then some portion in 2023," Mayor Sandra Masters said earlier this week.
The details of Hawryluk's compensation are part of Regina's annual remuneration list, which is published as part of its public accounting process.
The list provides the name, title and department of all municipal employees earning more than $50,000 a year.
That can come in the form of regular remuneration — such as salary or retroactive pay — and other compensation, which can include things such as "vacation credits, sick credits, allowances, membership fees of $1,000 or greater, or amounts paid to an employee upon termination."
In the city's 2021 public accounts, Hawryluk, then the executive director of city planning and community development, earned $242,105 in regular compensation and $3,900 in other compensation for a total of $246,005.
In 2022 — the year she parted ways with the City of Regina — Hawryluk earned $82,378 in regular compensation and $253,592 in other remuneration.
In 2023, Hawryluk, then listed as the deputy city manager, city planning and community development, earned $187,297 in other compensation.
The number of employees earning more than $150,000 a year has tripled since 2021, according to a review of the City of Regina's public records.
In 2021, there were 93 employees who earned more than $150,000.
Forty-one Regina Police Service employees and 41 general municipal employees made the list, accounting for 88 per cent of the list.
