Who they are

Not a company. This is the aggregate line for the employer's share of state-employee benefits — health insurance, pension contributions, payroll taxes.

Paired with Employee Compensation, it's the full cost of the state's workforce. Together the two payroll aggregates account for roughly a third of every checkbook dollar — detailed on the Salaries & Payroll page.
