MLA REMUNERATION - EFFECTIVE APRIL 1,
2007
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, 2007, based on the
Alberta Average Weekly Earnings*. The 4.92% change has been calculated by
comparing the
average of earnings for January to December 2005 to the average of
earnings for January to December 2006. (The remuneration figures have been
rounded for pay administration purposes.)
