Employee Pay Search – Transparent Utah
The State of Utah and other government entities provide a variety of public goods and services. Behind these efforts is a professional workforce of thousands of individuals working on a variety of issues and opportunities, from keeping the public safe to helping aid the poor while moving millions of us around efficiently. The employee pay sections allow you to see detailed information about government employee pay.
Highest Paid Employees
On the Highest Paid Employees page, select the entity and the desired fiscal year. This provides a table of the top paid employees in the state or selected entity. By default the system displays a table of the State’s top paid employees sorted by highest wages.
To change the search, simply select the year and entity or entities that you want included in the search of highest paid employees. If you want more details about any listed employee, click on an amount in the WAGES, BENEFITS or TOTAL COMPENSATION columns and details about the employee and employer will be listed.
Please note that the State and all other government entities only report payroll annually (3 months after the end of their calendar year).

Detailed Employee Search
For more general employee pay information select this section.
Employees can work for multiple government entities. An example is a substitute teacher who works in multiple school districts or a firefighter who works for multiple fire departments.
To search for employee wages and benefits, select the year(s) and entity or entities that you want to search. The Name field will perform partial matches on last and first names. Remember that “Tom” and “Thomas” are not the same name and the employee search is performed on the legal name of the government employee. Also note that searching for “Doug” as a last name will return multiple last names including “Doug”, “Dougall”, “McDougall” and “MacDougall”. You can then use the list to refine your search.
Please note that the State and all other government entities only report payroll annually (should be uploaded 3 months after the end of their calendar year).
