Bernalillo County is still not posting employee names with their salary information online. Therefore, the Rio Grande Foundation has taken upon itself the task of collecting and posting the information online. Of course, as with any major enterprise, the payroll constantly changes, so we re-requested the information and have posted it here.
As you’ll see in looking at the data, the annual salary figure is not directly found in the document. To calculate that, multiply the number by 8*5*52 (8 hours per day, 5 days per week, and 52 weeks in the year). So, someone at a rate of 17.4337 is making $36, 262 annually.
This information is indeed public, despite the quibbling by at least two Commissioners. I obtained an earlier, very complete listing via a request under the NM Inspection of Public Records Act—but have not shared that. It seems fair to me that taxpayers have an idea what WE are paying OUR employees.
