    Alberta Public Sector Salary Disclosure - Sunshine List 2022

    Alberta first started publishing the Sunshine List in 2014 following the 2012 election of Alison Redford.

    The salary and severance disclosure, makes Alberta's public sector more open and accountable to taxpayers. The act requires organizations that receive public funding from the Province of Alberta to make public the names, positions, salaries and total taxable benefits of employees paid 136,805 or more in the previous calendar year.

    At SunshineListStats.com, we rank employees from organizations that received public funding from the Province of Alberta and earn over $136,805 per year, including total taxable benefits.
