MLA REMUNERATION - EFFECTIVE APRIL 1, 2004
In accordance with a
decision of the Special Standing Committee on Members' Services on October 5,
1998, components of Member remuneration are to be adjusted on April 1 of each
year by the same percentage increase or decrease as in the Average Weekly
Earnings for Alberta as reported by Statistics Canada survey of employment
payroll and hours for the immediately preceding calendar year.
The table below
summarizes the resulting adjustments effective April 1, 2004 based on the
Alberta Average Weekly Earnings*. The 1.36% change has been calculated by
comparing the
average of earnings for January to December, 2002 to the average of earnings
for January to December, 2003. (The remuneration figures have been rounded
for pay administration purposes.)
