Municipal Salaries

While I was sitting through those soooo exciting budget meetings, I was looking through the 2013 Manager's Recommended Budget and realized that I had no idea of what kind of money these folks earn. It really isn't broken down.  So here is what I was able to find.  2011 and 2012 Municipal Salaries I do not have names listed, only by position. These figures do not include medical insurance costs, life insurance, vehicle allowances, worker's compensation, or bonuses.

Salary amounts will change in a couple of months when the new budget is passed.  The final budget hearing is scheduled for December 11, 2012, when it will be approved.

  1. To determine total employee compensation you have to add to salaries the employer cost and value to the employees of benefits.

    The average benefits package for a Mt. Lebanon salaried exempt employee is about 50% of and an adder to salary.

    Municipal employees are by no means under compensated. To see additional employee categories, go to the website. Click on Agendas & Minutes. Click on Commission Agendas - All. Select the meeting Agenda for Dec. 20, 2011. See Agenda item #16. Click on the Ordinance Bill link. Enjoy.
