Each year, the City of Boston publishes payroll data for employees. This dataset contains employee names, job details, and earnings information including base salary, overtime, and total compensation for employees of the City.

See the "Payroll Categories" document below for an explanation of what types of earnings are included in each category.

The dataset of Boston includes comprehensive payroll data for City employees, including personal identification, job titles and responsibilities, and remuneration details including base salary, overtime pay, and overall compensation.

The Checkbook Explorer web application provides up-to-date financial information about the City’s expenditures, allowing users to interact with data on how the City is spending money. The data is updated monthly, with certain personal information omitted in order to ensure privacy. The Checkbook Explorer does not contain payroll information, which is available in the Employee Earnings Report (https://data.boston.gov/dataset/employee-earnings-report), or information on independent city agencies. This dataset contains information on City expenditures that are included in the Checkbook Explorer, beginning in July 2011. It is reported by fiscal year (July-June), starting in FY12.
