Registered Nurse Salaries
Payroll Deductions for Nursing Jobs in Canada

Registered nurse salaries are subject to deductions. All jobs, not just nursing jobs in Canada are subject to specific deductions that reduce the take home pay of the nurse salary.

The following salary information lists the deductions that are taken from each and every pay cheque.

  • contributions to the Canada pension plan. The employer also makes a contribution. This is not your money and you do not get this money back if you quit your job. This money pays the pension of people who are currently collecting the Canada Pension. When it is your turn to collect CPP your monthly pension will be funded by the workers who are currently making contributions.

  • income tax - both federal and provincial income tax is deducted at the source

  • union dues - if you collect the paycheque and benefit from the work done by the labour union you must pay them do to this work on your behalf.

  • employment insurance - these contributions help to fund the employment insurance plan in Canada so that workers who become unemployed for whatever reason, have some benefits to see them through to the next job. These benefits are also paid to mothers on maternity leave (12 months), people who are unable to work for medical reasons, or individual's who cannot work temporarily because they are caring for a seriously ill relative.

As there are variations in registered nurse salaries and benefits across the country it is also possible that certain benefits are not fully paid by the employer especially if you do not have full time employment.

Such benefits would be things like extended medical insurance premiums, life insurance premiums or dental care insurance.

Other deductions such as those for private pension plans may also reduce your take home pay.
