A law recently went into effect which requires County governments to list highly paid employees.

I asked for the list from McHenry County and here’s what I received:

McHenry County Government Center

Salary Compensation Report Pursuant to Section 120/7.3 of the Open Meetings Act

For Fiscal Year 2011-2012 (as of 1/1/12)

In accordance with PA 97-609, and certain requirements within this act, a government entity is required to list on its website the total compensation package for every IMRF covered employee earning a total compensation package in excess of $75,000.

Salary and benefit information for IMRF employees are for salaries on FY 2011-2012 as it represents numbers that are projected to be earned at the completion of the fiscal year. Numbers do not become actual until the completion of the fiscal year.

This information is offered to provide transparency on projected costs.

Here’s page two of six.  (The list is in alphabetical order and the information is in this order: NAME, JOB TITLE, SALARY
HLTH INS* [* Statute requires only monies paid directly to the employee i.e.: insurance “opt-out” and HRA/HAS stipend], SICK DAYS. VACATION DAYS, VEHICLE, STIPEND, CLOTHING, TOTAL.)
