"Total Comp", which typically is more than wages. This includes health benefits, which can be a significant part of the figure. So like another said they get the bare minimum but these figures seem inflated and make the employees exactly as said, "overpaid." So, all the public sees is "130K," with no clue where it all comes from. As well, I have no clue what their benefits are like. It is quite possible they contribute to their benefits as well as most people do, which means their take home may be even less than you'd expect. I for one have employer provided health coverage where the employer contributes, as well as a portion comes out of my paycheck, with co-pays upon an office visit.
