BC Ferries CEO compensation revealed



More details have been released about the compensation package for new BC Ferries president Michael Corrigan.  When he was appointed to the post Dec. 5, the company said his annual salary was $364,000 and his total compensation with bonuses and other benefits wouldn't exceed $563,000 a year, about half of what his predecessor, David Hahn, made. A freedom of information request has now revealed details of Corrigan's employment contract, showing that if he's terminated, Corrigan would get severance pay equal to two years of his salary. The contract also shows as president, Corrigan will get enhanced health and welfare benefits, supplemental executive pension benefits, seven weeks vacation and a $1,200 a month car allowance. The contract says Corrigan will step down as president on July 1, 2017 but continue as a BC Ferris' consultant for one year, helping with the transition to a new president. He will get the same salary and benefits until his normal retirement date of June 30, 2018.
