About the data
The salary amounts presented here were provided to the Star Tribune by the
State
of Minnesota, the University of Minnesota and several local governments under
the Minnesota Data Practices Act. The information was provided between March
and
June 2008 and do no refect any revisions or corrections that might have been
made since.
The salary figures represent compensation that was paid or deferred in 2007 for
base salary, overtime and other pay, which includes expense reimbursements or
amounts earned for working weekends or nights. The monetary value of employee
benefits, such as health insurance, or payments to pension plans are not
included.
The City of St. Paul was unable to provide a breakdown of total pay by
component
parts, therefore total overtime pay and base pay amounts for employees could
not
be enumerated. The counties of Anoka, Hennepin, Ramsey and Washington, the
cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, and the Metropolitan Council did provide
overtime figures but were unable to provide a total other pay figure.
Therefore,
base salaries listed for their employees represent the combined amount of
regular and other compensation.
Median pay amounts were calculated using hourly or bi-weekly pay rates as
provided by the government agencies. Not all agencies provided data for
employees that left employment during the year, therefore median pay amounts
might differ from other published sources.
An employee's job title and department affiliation represent the employee's
position at the time the government agency provided the data to the Star
Tribune, however, the employee might have earned the salary as part of a
previous position.
