Board of Water and Light:
2022 employee wages
February 3, 2023
In response to my FOIA request, the Lansing Board of Water & Light has
provided detailed information on employee pay for 2022. 822 employees
were on the payroll at one time or another during the year and were paid
a total of $75,025,047.62.
BWL provided the
information as an
Excel file, which I was able to sort into various sequences:
Name
Salary
Total earnings
Regular earnings
Overtime/other earnings
Individual variable pay (only 11 people got this)
Job (within Responsible area)
This
chart of
responsible areas was provided also.
Here are the 20
employees with highest total earnings:

Earnings for
the 2 employees with termination dates above were likely boosted by
retirement payouts. For others, overtime was likely the reason earnings
exceeded salary. Here are the 40 who received the highest overtime/other
