Top 50 highest-paid workers in Washtenaw County government all have six-figure salaries

Fifty employees in Washtenaw County government have six-figure salaries, while another 100-plus are somewhere between $80,000 and $99,000, county records show.

In all, the county has 1,327 employees whose combined earning power totals $71.5 million, according to records obtained by AnnArbor.com through the Freedom of Information Act. That puts the average county employee's salary at a little less than $54,000.

A number of psychiatrists who deliver mental health services to county residents through the Washtenaw Community Health Organization made the list of top earners.

Most members of the Washtenaw County Board of Commissioners are making $15,500 per year. Commissioner Conan Smith, D-Ann Arbor, makes $18,500 as chairman, while other commissioners with leadership roles make as much as $16,500.

County officials are working right now to close a $20.9 million structural deficit in the general fund budget over the next two years.

The listed salaries do not reflect the fact that county employees are taking eight unpaid furlough days this year. That reduces the average employee's pay by $1,658.

From the list below, to figure out the amount to subtract to account for furlough days, take the employee's salary and divide by 1,950 (hours worked per year) to get the hourly rate, then multiply by 7.5 (hours worked per day), and then multiply by 8 (number of furlough days).
