About the
Alberta list.
How the disclosure works, where the data comes from, and how to request a correction.
The legislation
The law behind the annual disclosure.
Alberta discloses compensation for Government of Alberta employees under the Public Service Compensation Disclosure Policy. The threshold adjusts annually. Note: names are excluded from the open data CSV — they appear on the interactive web table only.
The threshold of $159,833 means that any public sector employee earning at or above this amount must be included in the annual disclosure. Because the threshold has not been adjusted for inflation in most provinces, the number of disclosed employees grows every year.
About this website
An independent transparency project.
Canada Sunshine List is an independent project that aggregates publicly available salary disclosure data from provincial governments and makes it searchable in a consistent, user-friendly format. We believe a more informed citizenry leads to greater transparency in government.
All data on this site comes directly from official government sources and is public information under applicable provincial disclosure legislation. We do not collect, create, or modify any salary data — we only present what governments have already disclosed.
