Why this site exists
Search a state job title and you get salary estimates: crowd-sourced averages, or databases of what named employees were paid in some past year. The pay plan itself, the document that says what the job actually pays, is a several-hundred-page administrative PDF. This site is that document, one readable page per classification, with the PDF linked so you can check any figure.
