State employees accepted lower private-sector earning power in exchange for stability, benefits, and retirement security. This site quantifies what it costs when that bargain is broken by outsourcing or privatization.
For years, many State of Iowa employees accepted lower salaries than the private sector in exchange for stability, earned leave, healthcare support, and retirement security through the Iowa Public Employees' Retirement System (IPERS).
When outsourcing ends that employment relationship, the financial consequences extend far beyond a paycheck change. This site combines official salary records, published benefit documents, and transparent calculation logic to put a dollar value on what employees stand to lose.
In March 2026, the State of Iowa signed a master agreement with CGI Technologies and Solutions, Inc. and executed the first Statement of Work to outsource the state's Enterprise Program Management Office. Employees in affected roles are being separated from state employment and offered positions with CGI.
The master agreement's scope is not limited to IT. Its operative language covers staff augmentation, consulting services, and any function a future Statement of Work defines — with no cap on how many SOWs can be issued and no restriction on which agencies participate.
A documented, employee-specific analysis engine built on official records.

Add your hire date, leave balances, benefit elections, and — if applicable — the CGI offer you've been given. The facts the salary database alone doesn't contain.
Get a documented breakdown of salary history, leave value, healthcare cost differences, and retirement structure impact — all sourced and labeled.
What was signed, what it enables, what the "substantially equivalent" promise actually says, and which state functions could be next.
