At Peel Region, we believe that rewarding great work means going beyond a paycheque.
That’s why we offer a competitive and transparent compensation package—backed by robust benefits designed to support your health, well-being, and future.
Some positions are part of a bargaining unit, and entitlements may vary based on the applicable collective agreement. Each union may have its own terms for compensation, benefits, and time off.
We’re happy to provide more details during the recruitment process.
Competitive compensation
Your hard work won’t go unnoticed.
We offer market-aligned salaries and regularly benchmark to ensure our pay is competitive and fair across all roles and levels. Our non-union performance-based compensation model rewards your contributions and impact — not just your job title.
Health and wellness
Your health matters — to you, your loved ones, and to us.
From dental and extended health coverage to wellness initiatives, life insurance, and disability plans, our benefits plan is built to keep you and your family well, both physically and mentally.
Non-union employees also get a Health Spending Account of up to $1,050 annually to cover out-of-pocket medical and dental expenses
Time off to recharge
Work-life balance is essential.
Rest and personal time are vital for doing your best work and living your best life.
Beyond statutory holidays, many of our plans offer paid personal time and additional “float” or extra holidays to give you more time to recharge. We also provide competitive vacation entitlements that recognize your experience and increase with your years of service.
Retirement and financial well-being
Your future matters — today.
That's why we offer the Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System (OMERS) Pension Plan, one of Canada's most respected retirement programs.
As an OMERS member, you'll build a secure, predictable monthly pension income for life, with contributions that we’ll match. It's more than just a job perk: it's peace of mind, smart savings, and a solid step toward a comfortable retirement. Your future self will thank you!
Employee and Family Assistance Program (EFAP)
Life can be challenging, but you’re never alone.
Our EFAP offers free, confidential counseling and 24/7 support services for you and your family.
Work and life balance are important, so we provide an inclusive, vibrant organizational culture and flexible ways of working that support health and well-being.
Through our flexible workplace practices, we’ve re-defined 'how' employees work.
Depending on the role, we offer flexible hours and 2 different ways to work: onsite or hybrid. As of May 2025, employees will be required to work onsite for a minimum of 2 days per week. Each work mode depends on the role and its operational requirements.
These work modes let you manage and combine personal and professional responsibilities while meeting operational requirements and customer service expectations.
We strive to develop a workplace that:
- Values and respects diversity.
- Practices inclusion.
- Recognizes everyone’s unique contributions and abilities.
- Facilitates innovative thinking to ensure our programs and services address the diverse needs of Peel’s community and workforce.
Our employee surveys, organizational events, and learning and development opportunities are just some of the ways we’re working to become a more diverse, equitable, accessible, and inclusive workplace.
We're committed to working with residents to deliver programs and services that are not only inclusive and equitable, but also reflect our communities.
