Departmental Salary Details Posted Online

The Honourable Jerome Kennedy, Minister of Finance and President of Treasury Board, today advised that the Departmental Salary Details document for 2013-14 is now available online.

“Earlier this year, I committed that the Departmental Salary Details document would be posted online in advance of Estimates committee meetings, if at all possible, and I have kept that commitment,” said Minister Kennedy. “As we go through the current period of workforce adjustment, it is important to provide an accurate view of position changes. The salary details report reflects those positions that were eliminated as of March 31. There are additional positions that have been eliminated however these individuals will exit government post March. These position eliminations will be reflected in next year’s salary details document.”

The document can be found at www.budget.gov.nl.ca/budget2013/salary.htm. Earlier this year, salary details for 2012-13 were also posted online and are available at www.budget.gov.nl.ca/budget2012/salary.htm

“Providing access to information that is relevant and of interest to the public is important to this administration,” said the Honourable Keith Hutchings, Minister Responsible for the Office of Public Engagement. “We remain committed to enhancing this process and will continue to release important information and data to the citizens of Newfoundland and Labrador.”
