City Posts Employee Salary and Benefit Information Online

In an effort to increase transparency, Beverly Hills has published the incomes of city workers.

If you're interested in knowing what city employees earn, look no further than Beverly Hills' official website.

In the "Administrative Services" section of the "Government" tab, click on "Human Resources" and then "Summary of Salaries." You will be directed to the salary information of all city workers. The latest data available is for 2010.
