Questions and answers

Why is Catherine Swindlehurst on the compensation disclosure list?

Athabasca University Board of Governors paid Catherine Swindlehurst $301,192 in 2025. Alberta’s public employers must disclose everyone they paid $159,676 or more in a calendar year, under the Public Sector Compensation Transparency Act.

What is “compensation”?

The one pay figure Alberta publishes for each person for the calendar year, shown as published. Alberta does not publish taxable benefits separately, so none are shown. How the lists work

What do the comparisons mean?

Ranks and shares are among people on the same year’s list only: those with the same title, those at the same employer, or everyone listed. People paid under $159,676 are not on the list, so they are not counted.

How do I report a mistake or ask for a record to be removed?

Privacy and corrections explains both. Figures are shown exactly as Alberta published them; we fix matching mistakes and handle removal requests there.

Years at different employers were matched because the name appears once on each year’s list with the same job or sector. Salary paid can include overtime, retroactive pay and one-time payments. Figures are exactly as Alberta published them. How we match years · Report a mistake or ask for removal
