This paper examines the teaching career and remuneration of São Paulo's public educational system and analyzes the form of admission, workday, career progress, wage dispersion and salary composition. It is based on the rules for the teaching career between 1951 and 2010. It was found that the public tender was the main process of hiring teachers; there were changes on the number, composition and duration of the workday; when progress in the career is considered, seniority, qualification and continuing education predominated; wage dispersion underwent changes until 1994, becoming more stable thereafter; and there were variations on the remuneration composition in terms of additional bonuses, allowances, compensation and awards.
