Common questions about the New Brunswick Employee Salaries disclosure and this site.
What is the New Brunswick Employee Salaries disclosure?
Each year the Government of New Brunswick publishes an "Employee Salaries" list as part of its Public Accounts, naming public sector employees whose salary reached a disclosure threshold during the reporting period, along with their department or employer.
What is the disclosure threshold?
The salary threshold was $60,000 in 2020 and $80,000 from 2021 onward. Because of this change, year-over-year record counts before and after 2021 are not directly comparable.
Why are salaries shown as ranges like $100,000–$124,999?
New Brunswick discloses each employee's salary as a $25,000 range rather than an exact figure, so for each person we show the disclosed band exactly as published. Behind the scenes the band's midpoint is used to rank, sort, and average the data, so 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.
Who is included?
The disclosure covers the core Government of New Brunswick (departments and ministries), the Legislative Assembly (including cabinet ministers and MLAs), the regional health authorities (Horizon Health Network and Vitalité Health Network), Crown corporations (NB Power, NB Liquor, Cannabis NB, and others), the Anglophone and Francophone school districts, and the public colleges (NBCC and CCNB).
What is reported, and what is left out?
The figure shown is the employee's banded salary. New Brunswick discloses severance, retirement allowances, travel, and car allowances as separate line items — those are not included in the salary shown here. The employer-paid portion of pensions and health/dental benefits is also not included, so real total compensation packages are higher than the figures shown.
How are cabinet ministers and MLAs handled?
Ministers and members of the Legislative Assembly do not have a banded "salary" line. Instead they are disclosed with exact amounts — a ministerial salary and/or a members' annual indemnity. For these individuals this site sums those exact amounts into a single figure.
What years are available on this site?
Currently 2020 through 2025. New years are added when the Government of New Brunswick publishes them in the Public Accounts.
How do I find a specific person?
Use the Data Explorer to search by first or last name. You can also filter by employer, sector, year, and salary range.
Is this site affiliated with the Government of New Brunswick?
No. This is an independent tool for exploring publicly available salary disclosure data. The data is sourced from the Province's "Employee Salaries" disclosure in the New Brunswick Public Accounts and updated when new years are released.
Do you have data for other provinces?
Yes — this site also covers Ontario (Sunshine List, 1996–present), Newfoundland & Labrador, Alberta, British Columbia, and Manitoba. Visit the corresponding province sections to explore.
