Published annually by the Government of New Brunswick in the Province's Public Accounts
Each year the Government of New Brunswick publishes an “Employee Salaries” list as part of its Public Accounts. It names public sector employees whose salary reached a disclosure threshold, alongside their department or employer. Unlike a colloquial “sunshine list” of exact salaries, New Brunswick reports each person's salary as a $25,000 range (for example, $100,000–$124,999).
The salary threshold has changed once over the years published here:
Because of this change, year-over-year record counts before and after 2021 are not directly comparable. The drop in the count after 2020 reflects the higher threshold, not employees disappearing or pay falling.
The disclosure spans most of New Brunswick's public sector. It covers employees of:
Each disclosed record includes the employee's name, employer, sector, job title (where published), and salary band for the reporting period.
New Brunswick discloses each employee's salary as a $25,000 band rather than an exact figure. For each person we show the disclosed band exactly as published (for example, $100,000–$124,999) — never a single number that could be mistaken for their exact pay. Behind the scenes, the band's midpoint is used to rank, sort, and average the data, so the sector and yearly averages, totals, and charts are approximate. (Cabinet ministers and MLAs are the exception: they disclose exact dollar amounts, which we show as exact figures.)
The salary figure does not include the employer-paid portion of pension contributions, health and dental benefits, or other non-taxable benefits. Severance, retirement allowances, travel, and car allowances — which New Brunswick discloses as separate line items — are not folded into the salary shown here.
