State employment benefits include everything from health insurance to retirement income and are worth about 40% of your salary.

This page gives a brief explanation of some of the benefits that are provided by the State of Michigan according to union contracts or plans. See details on these and other employment information links.

Employees receive a minimum 4% state contribution toward their retirement fund. If an employee elects to contribute more, the state will match that percentage (up to 3%).

Employees may invest income in a tax-deferred investment program.
