3 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Summary The following collection of salary scales was assembled for reference by practicing medical imaging and radiation technologists and therapists (MRTs), and students preparing to enter the field in Canada. The publication is available online at: This report is a collection of provincial wage scales gathered from unions and outside bargaining units collective agreements. Supplementary information includes overtime premiums and an appendix addressing average spending on goods and services across the country. Every attempt has been made to outline wage scales with respect to the following four disciplines: Radiological Technologists, Radiation Therapists, Nuclear Medicine Technologists and Magnetic Resonance Technologists. However, in several collective agreements no distinction is made between disciplines. In other words, bargaining takes place at a more macro level. The fact that some unions bargain for specific skill sets is a significant benefit in its own right to employees, and the readers of this report will be easily able to identify such unions. The aforementioned wages are pulled primarily from central collective agreements; however, on occasion the local/regional agreements have been used to fill in blanks (i.e., when the central agreement does not discuss certain disciplines but the local/regional level does). Wages at the local level not explored in this analysis might differ from those in the central collective agreement. Readers should note: the CAMRT will refrain from becoming a bargaining unit for MRTs, and shall restrict its involvement with bargaining units to the exchange and/or clarification of information regarding the practice of medical imaging and radiation technology/therapy. The Association may, either directly or through its provincial partner associations, communicate freely with representative unions on behalf of our members. Although every effort has been made to ensure that the following information is current and accurate, the CAMRT cannot attest that it is either complete or up-to-date. Terms and conditions of employment vary widely across Canada and salary negotiations are ongoing in some provinces.

25 14.0 APPENDIX Methodology Supplement The Bargaining of Specific Disciplines Every attempt has been made to outline wage scales with respect to the following four disciplines: Radiological Technologists, Radiation Therapists, Nuclear Medicine Technologists, and Magnetic Resonance Technologists. However, in several collective agreements no distinction is made between the disciplines. Every attempt was made to identify the wages for each discipline; however, if the skill sets are not recognized in the collective agreements they cannot and have not been reported in this review. The fact that some unions bargain for specific skill sets is a significant benefit in its own right to employees and the end users of this report will be able to identify unions that do just that. The Exclusion of Monthly Salary Figures Monthly and annual salary figures have been excluded from this report, as they are believed to be deceiving to the reader. Not only are they based on hourly wage rates but also an annual hours figure, which can differ greatly between unions and provinces. Furthermore, in some cases this annual hours figure is not fully disclosed in all of the collective agreements that represent MRTs in Canada. Hourly rates and bi-weekly salary figures will therefore be the primary data provided in an attempt to present a transparent wage scale comparison. The Exclusion of Benefits The reasons for the exclusion of benefits are two-fold. First, this is a wage scale comparison not a full compensation review. Second, due to the in-depth nature of this analysis and the number of collective agreements that have been cited, benefits have been excluded to keep this report classified as a quick reference guide.
