Kansas Wage Payment Act

State of Kansas Salary Survey (powerpoint). State of Kansas salaries lag behind both the median and average of the market, says this report prepared by the Hay Group for the Kansas Legislature. The report compares the salaries of Kansas state employees to those of state workers in nearby states, as well as to employees in Kansas cities, counties, school districts and private companies.(Disclaimer- The Hay Group survey was established in 2007 and no longer represents the entire outlook for under market state employees.)
