The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey has a reputation as an agency that, among other things, pays well. How well? Above is a gallery of the agency's highest paid employees in 2014, topped by Executive Director Patrick Foye and Deputy Executive Director Deborah Gramiccioni, at $289,667 each.

The agency shed Gramiccioni's salary costs last week, after she stepped down from what was essentially a co-directorship with Foye, taking a job at NYU Law School. Port Authority Chairman John Degnan, whose position is unpaid, said the two director posts would be eliminated in favor of a single chief executive officer in charge of the entire agency, following a nationwide search.

Payroll information for all of the Port Authority's 6,800 employees is posted online.

For comparison's sake, NJ Transit Executive Director Ronnie Hakim is paid $261,324 a year to head an agency of 11,000 employees. In New York, Metropolitan Transportation Authority Chairman and CEO Thomas Prendergast makes $325,000 managing the MTA's operations and 66,500 workers.

The Port Authority top 10 list is for base pay, or annual salary, and does not include overtime. If it did, there would likely be several Port Authority Police officers, some of whom triple their pay with OT. But the 10 highest salaries all went to management employees, and none was paid overtime, regardless of hours.
