It's simple to get connected and access compensation data from positions across hundreds of municipalities.
About the MCD
The Ontario Municipal Administrators Association (OMAA) and muniSERV have once again partnered to bring a new tool to municipalities. With support from a group of municipal users, we are pleased to announce the Municipal Compensation Database (MCD).
The MCD is a platform built with CAO leadership in mind and based on municipal human resources principles. It's brought to you by organizations that know municipalities best.
“The MCD is a cloud-based platform to collect and aggregate current municipal compensation and human resources information, tailored for delivery directly to municipal users.” It also includes Council Compensation, Job Descriptions and Organizational Charts.
The MCD changes the way municipalities share and access compensation and human resources data, while supporting the province's shared servicing initiative.
Why the MCD
Quick and easy access to real-time municipal compensation data and human resources information whenever you need it
Access and update your data 24/7/365
Access to statistically valid compensation data
Enhances efficiency. Eliminates duplication
Provides measurable cost savings
Run reports of real-time data in a matter of minutes, or request other reports as needed
The Details
The built-in confidentiality and security controls let CAOs control who has access to which level of compensation information.
There are annual or multi-year subscriptions. OMAA and muniSERV members get discounted subscription pricing. Once you access the MCD you can add your own information as changes are made to your compensation, and access real-time municipal compensation data when and how you need it, from your desktop.
The more municipalities participate, the better the data.

“OMAA is proud to partner with muniSERV on this initiative and we can say our association has brought the CAO perspective forward during the design of the platform. On behalf of the OMAA Board, we encourage all Ontario CAOs to investigate and sign up for a subscription to the Municipal Compensation Database.”

Other Government Users.
The one-time development fee is charged once, in your first year of subscribing to the MCD, to help offset setup costs.
We know from experience many municipalities do not have their own dedicated Human Resources professionals in-house.
Our Human Resources Advisory Services fill that gap. Engage HR professionals in whichever way fits your municipality:
HR professional services by the hour, when you need them.
A dedicated HR professional engaged by the project.
An HR Bureau where small municipalities join together to share a dedicated professional.
Like the MCD subscriptions, our HR Advisory Services are discounted for OMAA and muniSERV members.
Non-Standard Reports: Standard Reports are included with Subscriptions, but customized reports are also available upon request.
