What these figures are
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (PennWATCH) publishes the pay rate of everyone on its current employee list: a yearly salary for salaried jobs, and a wage per hour for the rest. That is what the job pays today, not what someone was paid over a year, so overtime, extra pay and time not worked are not part of it.
