Nearly 30 per cent of City of Calgary employees make $100,000 or more a year, the city indicated Monday as it published its annual compensation list online.

According to a graph posted along with the 2019 compensation disclosure list, 22.2 per cent of employees earn between $100,000 and $125,000 a year, while 5.7 per cent are in the $125,000 to $150,000 pay range and 1.5 per cent make more than $150,000 a year.

Just over 30 per cent of employees earn between $50,000 and $75,000 a year and 29.9 per cent make between $75,000 and $100,000, the graph indicates.

But while the lengthy compensation list contains position titles and salary ranges, one councillor says he wants to see the city disclose more than what he called a “watered-down version” of a Sunshine List.

Coun. Sean Chu said the Calgary list should include names and specific salaries of the city’s top earners.

“Every other level of government can do it,” he said. “Why can’t we? So I think we should list everything. Just like the province.”
