So I don't think she did good work but to be fair this wasn't a "bonus" as most Albertians think of when they hear or read that word, it was a contractually agreed to incurred OT which she is allowed to clock up during emergencies as per the long standing policy. She worked the hours to get paid more, as any nurse or other staff. It's just not typical of management incurring OT.
They didn't release her hours but I have no doubt she worked a huge amount of hours given what we saw of her. I have issue with the policy allowing so much given the lack of OT paid out to other Chief Medical officers from other provinces, and higher pay didn't lead to a higher quality performance - from the little we can see as a lot of what she does would be behind the scenes work that gets filtered through the elected officials.
But, its not her fault she has a good contract.
