City To Be More Open In Publicising What It Pays Its Employees

The city of Saint John will soon be posting on its website the pay scales and salary ranges of its employees. 

The idea coming from Common Councillor Greg Norton who argues it will provide taxpayers with the opportunity to compare the performance of an organisation with what's its paying people to do the job. 

Fellow Councillor John MacKenzie is hoping Mayor and Council will be leaders of the pack with publicising what they get paid.

Norton points out there will be no names used and this is already being done by the city of Fredericton on its website.
