What is the salary for the Cayman Islands premier, deputy premier, ministers, MLAs and the governor?


Auntie’s answer: While you might have been hoping for an exact number for each salary, Gloria McField-Nixon, chief officer in the Portfolio of the Civil Service, did supply a precise range, and how that is determined, for the officials you inquired about, plus a few more.

Let’s start with the governor. Helen Kilpatrick’s salary, she explained, is based on a 20% premium of whatever the deputy governor might earn, so the governor’s annual pay ranges from $199,714 to $220,435.

Next up are the speaker, premier, deputy premier, and other cabinet ministers, who are considered grade B on the civil service salary scale. This translates into a range per year of $158,400 to $179,196.

Falling into grade D on the scale are the leader of the opposition, deputy speaker and other MLAs, meaning their yearly salaries range from $109,932 to $130,668.
