Transparency Act
Under the Public Service Compensation Disclosure Policy, compensation, including salary, benefits and severance amounts for employees with base salaries or severance payments equal to or greater than the annual threshold, must be made available in the linked dataset.
The information will be publicly available for five years from the date of disclosure.
This requirement applies to:
- agencies, boards, and commissions governed by the Alberta Public Agencies Governance Act
- independent offices of the Legislature
- employees of Covenant Health.
Deadlines and salary thresholds
Public sector bodies are required to post online the names and amount of compensation and severance paid to:
- all board members
- employees who earn over the threshold value
They are required to disclose this information twice per year:
- June 30 (compensation from the previous calendar year from Jan. 1 - Dec. 31.)
- December 31 (severance for the period Jan. 1 - June 30 from the first half of the calendar year.)
