City Payroll
City employee payroll listings for a sampling of the cities in Kansas, obtained in Open Records requests. Payroll listings are organized on a calendar year basis. The amounts reflect total pay, including base wages or salaries, overtime, bonuses, pay for not using sick leave, car allowance, cell phone allowance and other reasons that vary by city. Benefits (health care, pension, Social Security, life insurance, etc.) are not included in the total. Kansas City and Wyandotte County have a Unified Government, so those employees are shown as Wyandotte County employees in the County section of KansasOpenGov.
