A fire official again topped the list of San Francisco’s highest paid city employees last year, and the department had six of the city’s top 10 spots for total pay, according to figures for fiscal 2012-13 from the city’s Department of Human Resources, reports The San Francisco Chronicle.
Mayor Ed Lee may get the august, wood-paneled office in City Hall’s Room 200 and a Chevy Volt chauffeured by a security detail, but 48 city employees took home more pay than Lee’s $270,910 in fiscal 2012-13, the figures show.
Some of those are well-salaried department heads who don’t make overtime and have some relatively modest additional pay packages, like Police Chief Greg Suhr, who totaled $324,749, Fire Chief Joanne Hayes-White at $320,816 and San Francisco International Airport Director John Martin with $301,499.
Most of the top earners last year, though, got there through overtime or massive payouts of accrued time off upon retirement, with much of that going to fire and police brass, the figures show.
