Controller Publishes State Government Payroll Figures - Press Release

SACRAMENTO – State Controller John Chiang today updated his website showing the salary, pension benefits and other compensation for 256,222 State of California employees as well as 123,406 California State University (CSU) employees.

Last October, the Controller collected and posted wage information for more than 600,000 city and county employees. He also added 2,379 special districts’ payroll earlier this year.


The Government Compensation in California website covers elected officials as well as public employees. It includes the following information for each position:

• Minimum and maximum salary ranges;
• Actual wages paid;
• The applicable retirement formula;
• Any contributions by the employer to the employee’s share of pension costs;
• Any contributions by the employer to the employee’s deferred compensation plan; and
• Any employer payments for the employee’s health, vision and dental premium benefits.

In addition, the website shows employees who hold multiple positions within either State government or the CSU system.

The Controller continues to update the site weekly with new information from local government agencies. A list of agencies that failed to file their payroll records with the State can also be found on this website.  Each non-complying agency could face a penalty of $5,000.
