Hourly. Job Bank's national median is $24 an hour, about $50,000 a year at full-time hours, but many PSWs (personal support workers) do not get full-time hours. Ontario adds a permanent $3 an hour wage enhancement for PSWs (personal support workers) in publicly funded long-term care, home care and hospitals. Other provinces have their own top-ups. Pay varies by province and by employer.
