Method

Each state's published plan is downloaded and parsed. Figures are copied, never estimated: where a plan prints no fixed rate, this site shows no rate rather than a zero. Where a plan defines alternate ranges, all of them are shown. Annual conversions are arithmetic at a standard full-time basis (12 months, 2,080 hours or 260 days) and are labelled as conversions.

Where a state publishes a class specification (its own definition of the job, examples of the work and the minimum qualifications), the classification page quotes its opening sentences as published and links the full document. Nothing in those passages is paraphrased or written by this site.

What this site does not do

• It does not publish the salary of any named employee.
• It does not estimate, model or average pay.
• It gives no career, legal or financial advice.
• It is not affiliated with any state government or personnel agency.
