Wage Scale
WAGE SCALE
How the Wage Scale Works:
The current Wage Scale was built following a comprehensive review of scales and structures from across Canada with the focus on building a Values-Based Wage Grid that makes sense for TOPP KIDS. This scale outlines the direct financial benefit an ECE and employee should earn based on their education, length of time in the role, and role within the organization. Wages within this grid are based on research from across the country and province, solidifying a system designed for growth. The scale is also built with foresight of positional changes and has been divided between Front Line, Support Team , and Administrative Team sections and includes all roles within the company(s).
All new hires will be placed within their respective Starting Point when hired. Growth between tenure is determined by a 3% growth margin for Frontline ECEs and a 4% growth Margin for Support and Administrative Teams. The numbers within the grid will need to be adjusted as data is updated.
In addition to the Wage Scale, all employees (who are eligible) for further benefits in the overall
compensation Package at TOPP KIDS will have the following:
- CPP, WCB, and EI employer contributions,
- Wellness Days,
- TK Reward Time,
- Professional Development opportunities,
- a 75% employer paid Life Insurance, Health, Dental, and Vision plan complete with many Extended Health Care benefits (see benefits package) for FRONT LINE Employees (Active Play Coordinators, and Room Leads).
- a 100% employer paid Life Insurance, Health, Dental, and Vision plan complete with many Extended Health Care benefits (see benefits package) for LEADERSHIP Employees (Program Coordinators, Support Managers and Executive Members).
- Reduced Child Care fees (50%)
TOPP KIDS values the commitments our team members make to furthering their education and
has also added the additional benefit of supporting those who choose to further their education.
Conversations about furthering your education can be directed to our Professional Development
Coordinator.
NOTE: Years of service: An employee that leaves TK and chooses to return will have their previous
years of service recognized so long as they are within 2 calendar years from their original end of
employment date. The wage will be made consistent with the amount of time spent employed at
TOPP KIDS in line with the wage scale.
