A Note on Coverage

Alberta's disclosure covers agencies, boards, and commissions — not core ministerial staff. AHS and other Health-sector employers are included; ministry employees in Alberta Health are not. The threshold is $125,000 for employees (board members are disclosed regardless of amount). "Total compensation" in this article sums base pay, other taxable income, and any severance reported — but does not include the employer-paid portion of benefits or pension contributions.
