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 →
Full integration
Search the New York transparency portal
Maintained by New York State Office of the State Comptroller.
What this portal publishes: Open Book New York publishes state-agency payroll (name, title, agency, gross pay including regular, overtime, and other earnings), state and local contracts, school district expenditures, MTA payroll, retiree pension data, and local government finances.
Disclosure scope and gaps: Statewide payroll is sourced from OSC's payroll system and updated annually; legislative and judicial-branch employees are included. Some titles in protected agencies (e.g. undercover law-enforcement) are suppressed by name. Local-government data depends on each entity's annual filing, so coverage gaps exist when a municipality misses its deadline.

California
Open California portal ↗California State Controller's Office
Government Compensation in California (GCC) publishes name, position/job title, regular pay, overtime, lump-sum payments, employer-paid retirement and health contributions, and reporting department for ~2 million positions across 5,000+ California public employers (state, cities, counties, special districts, courts, K-12, CSU, community colleges).
New York
Open New York portal ↗New York State Office of the State Comptroller
Open Book New York publishes state-agency payroll (name, title, agency, gross pay including regular, overtime, and other earnings), state and local contracts, school district expenditures, MTA payroll, retiree pension data, and local government finances.
Texas
Open Texas portal ↗Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts
Texas Transparency hosts Payments to Payee, Revenue and Expenditure dashboards, the statewide Open Data Center, and agency-level salary and contract reports. There is NO single state-employee name-search anymore — the legacy Employee Information System was retired May 31, 2025; individual lookups now require downloading agency staff-compensation reports or filing a Public Information Act request.
Florida
Open Florida portal ↗Florida Department of Management Services
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.
Rhode Island
Open Rhode Island portal ↗Rhode Island Department of Administration / Office of Accounts and Control
Rhode Island publishes name, department (as of FY2012), position title (as of FY2012), regular earnings, overtime earnings, other earnings (holiday pay, health waiver, severance, road detail, CALEA, retro payments, active duty), and total compensation. Annualized salary is available starting FY2016. Search results are sortable and downloadable as CSV.
Federal cross-reference

Data via state-run transparency portals (state controllers, comptrollers, and finance/administration agencies) and authoritative federal sources (Treasury USAspending, OPM FedScope, OGE, House Clerk, Senate EFD). NGO-curated databases (Transparent California, SeeThroughNY, Mackinac Center) are intentionally not used here — see methodology.
