Funding, expenditure, and payroll data and information is based on transactions recorded by state entities (agencies, boards, commissions, etc.) on systems housed within the Department of Administrative Services (DAS), unless otherwise specified. These DAS systems, are housed within the following divisions: Enterprise Goods and Services; Enterprise Human Resource Services; and the Chief Financial Office.
For state employees, workforce data such as annual salaries that are listed, are twelve times the employee's monthly adjusted salary rate. "Annual Salary" includes most differential payments (such as work-out-of-classification and bilingual differential) but excludes payments for overtime, shift differential, benefits, and vacation payout.
For Education Service Districts, the funding, expenditure, contract, and payroll information is based on transactions recorded by Education Service District systems. Documents on the Legislative, Secretary of State, and other agency websites are also relied upon as resources.
