Employee Benefits

Your net salary (the money left in your paycheck after deductions) does not tell the whole story of your work compensation. Beyond your paycheck lies a hidden paycheck that adds more than 30% to the real value of your salary. These dollars come to you as fringe benefits of your state employment in the form of state-assumed costs for insurance protection, retirement and social security benefits, saving plans, educational opportunities, and various types of leave time. Sections in this handbook explain what your state benefits are, what conditions apply to them and how they mean extra dollars to you.

If you need additional information concerning state benefits, talk with your agency personnel administrator.
