Data Accuracy
All data was obtained from each political entity and entered verbatim into this site, thus any errors in the data are due to mistaken reporting on the part of the political entities in question.
Pay Categories
The “Overtime” column includes overtime compensation as well as call back pay. The “Other pay” category includes the compensation in the numerous other pay categories some public employees receive.
Employee Benefits
Employee benefits can include health insurance, life insurance and employer-paid retirement contributions. In the instances where the cost of employee benefits is unavailable, only partially available, or where salary information is reported in a substantially different fashion, TransparentCalifornia.com has included a note indicating so.
Total Pay & Benefits
The “Total pay & benefits” column under-reports the total compensation of government employees whose government employer did not provide complete salary or benefit information.
