Salary & Benefits Survey Results Are Now Available!

The 2012 Salary & Benefits Survey is open and available for access. Participating cities will receive their user name and passwords for accessing the updated data via a letter mailed to the top appointed official and/or HR manager on June 29, 2012.

The Salary & Benefits Survey for MN Local Governments compares the salaries and benefits of your staff to those of other public organizations throughout the state.

Jurisdictions unable to enter 2012 salary data prior to the deadline of May 25, 2012, can still enter their jurisdiction’s salary and benefit data. New data entered by jurisdictions takes approximately two weeks to post live to the survey.
