*Fringe is the cost associated with employment other than salary and wages. This typically includes the employer's share of health and retirement benefits but may vary across each entity. Quasi-public agencies utilizing the state's CORE-CT payroll system will show significantly higher fringe rates due costs including a number of components, some of which are not related to the cost of the benefits earned by the employee to whom they applied. For more detailed information about how totals for fringe are calculated, please inquire directly with the quasi-public agency.
