Gain insight into municipal salaries & total compensation
As part of our ongoing commitment to provide robust human resources support and services to our members, Alberta Municipalities has partnered with Y Station to provide an annual wage and compensation survey.
This comprehensive survey establishes a benchmark for municipal compensation in Alberta, allowing our members to review their total compensation and be well positioned to attract and retain employees.
The aim of the survey is to:
- Evaluate and compare current compensation rates for key positions.
- Better understand the labour market specific to municipalities.
- Assess each municipality’s current standing and future direction.
- Review total compensation to attract and retain employees.
It also intends to provide insight into:
- The competitive marketplace
- Municipal Profile
- Union Membership
- Change in Salary
- Council Remuneration
- Council Benefits
- Staff Hours & Benefits
- Staff Salaries & Wages
Y Station will conduct the survey from June to August. Results will be available in October. For municipalities who participate in the survey, free aggregate reporting is provided. In addition to this, members participating in Employee Benefits will receive a free customized report. Customized reporting for members who do not participate in Employee Benefits will be available upon request.
We encourage all municipalities to participate, strengthening the validity and value of the information. Recently, your municipality should have received an email with an invitation to participate in the survey; this email provided the link to the secure on-line survey platform. All information gathered will be held in the strictest confidence, with results reported in aggregate, eliminating any recognition of individual responses.
Survey responses must be completed and submitted by August 13, 2022. If you have any questions, please contact us by wagesurvey [at] abmunis.ca (email).
