Context

This dataset contains the salary, pay rate, and total compensation of every New York City employee. In this dataset this information is provided for the 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017 fiscal years, and provides a transparent lens into who gets paid how much and for what.

Note that fiscal years in the New York City budget cycle start on July 1st and end on June 30th (see here). That means that this dataset contains, in its sum, compensation information for all City of New York employees for the period July 1, 2014 to June 30, 2017.

Content

This dataset provides columns for fiscal year, employee name, the city department they work for, their job title, and various fields describing their compensation. The most important of these fields is "Regular Gross Pay", which provides that employee's total compensation.

• What are the most numerous job titles in civic government employment?
• Where does overtime pay seem to be especially common? How much of it is there?
• How do New York City employee salaries compare against salaries of city employees in Chicago? Is the difference more or less than the difference in cost of living between the two cities?

On May 16, 2011, Mayor Emanuel enacted Executive Order 2011-1. It requires Shakman-exempt employees of Executive Departments, department heads, non-clerical employees of the Mayor's Office, and persons appointed by the Mayor to City boards, commissions, authorities or agencies on or after May 16, 2011, to sign an Ethics Pledge http://bit.ly/mSkLU1. On July 28, 2011, this requirement was enacted into law by the City Council, as Section 2-156-015 of the Governmental Ethics Ordinance (effective September 8, 2011) http://bit.ly/qYti7P. The law requires new hires or appointees to sign the pledge within 14 days of starting their employment or appointments. The pledge obligates signers to abide by a ban on lobbying activity for two years after their City service ends. The Board of Ethics maintains these signed pledges. As a convenience, we are pleased to attach a list of persons who have signed this pledge. This list is sortable by name and department.
