Government accountability

Look up a public employee through the official source

TruthMark does notaggregate public-employee records. We direct you to the state-run transparency portal that authoritatively publishes the data — or, where one doesn't exist, we tell you that honestly. Why we do it this way →

Coverage varies dramatically. Some states publish every employee's name and salary; some publish only top earners (SC: above $50k; VA: above $10k); some publish only contracts and aggregate budgets; some publish nothing online. The card you get back when you choose a jurisdiction explains what that portal actually covers. How we vet sources →

Full integration

Search the Florida transparency portal

Maintained by Florida Department of Management Services.

What this portal publishes: State of Florida Employee Salaries publishes name, position title, agency, class code, annual salary including pay additives, FTE status, and employee type for executive-branch agencies, the Lottery, the Justice Administrative Commission, the State Courts System, the State University System, the Florida College System, and the State Board of Administration.

Disclosure scope and gaps: Sourced from the People First HR system and refreshed every Monday before 10 AM. Figures exclude overtime and other non-base incentive payments; select law-enforcement and victim-protection positions are excluded by statute. Legislative-branch staff are not included.

Integrated state portals

States with fuller TruthMark integration (coverage notes + disclosure scope). For all 50 states + DC + territories, see the full directory.
