Only one Millis town employee cleared $200K last year. Here are the top 25 salaries

MILLIS — Public safety officials comprised more than half of Millis' highest paid public employees last year.

Police Sgt. Domenic Tiberi topped the list of the 25 highest-paid town employees in 2022. Salary information is listed on the town's annual report. Tiberi, who earned $240,977, was the only municipal employee to clear $200,000 last year.

Thirteen other employees from the Fire and Police departments also made the list, keeping in line with other local communities.

Also consistent with other communities is the low number of women who made the list; only four of Millis' top 25 paid employees last year are women. In Bellingham and Milford, there were only two, and in Natick it was three.

Fourteen of Millis' 25 highest-paid municipal employees in 2022 were members of either the Police or Fire departments.
