Every other figure on this site is self-reported and shown with the number of reports behind it. These are not. They come from published filings, statutes, government circulars and answers given in parliament, and a figure like that is only worth printing if the specific document it came from is named beside it, with the date.
Where a source hedges, so does the entry. Compensation paid in shares is shown as exactly that, with no figure estimated from a share price. A statutory rate is shown as the rate the schedule sets, with any difference between that and what was actually drawn stated beside it. Amounts are converted to US dollars only where a rate exists in the daily-cached table, and a figure already stated in US dollars is left as it is.
Names are left out when the sourcing does not hold up. One well-known Jamaican chief executive is absent because the only figure available is described by its own source as approximate. Barbados and the Bahamas have no public sector entry because their widely repeated prime ministerial salaries have not been traced to a primary document.
The rest of the salary data is self-reported, checked by moderation, and shown with its report count.
