Not a company. "Employee Compensation" is the anonymized aggregate line for every state payroll check — Delaware publishes payroll as one giant payee rather than naming individual employees.
This is the wages of the state's entire workforce — teachers, troopers, caseworkers, snowplow drivers — rolled into a single ledger entry. For how it breaks down by department and overtime, see the Salaries & Payroll page.
Employee Compensation received $23.18 billion from the State of Delaware between FY2018 and FY2026, across 1,124,694 payments — an average of $20,606 per payment. The largest payer was Department of Education, accounting for 54% of the total. In the most recent year (FY2026), the state paid Employee Compensation $3.21 billion. Annual payments grew 52% between FY2018 and FY2026.
