The Department for Enterprise has revealed it pays nine people more than £100,000 a year.
It released the figures after a FoI request which asked for a breakdown of its salary bands.
The figures revealed that 90 people are being paid over £50,000 a year, with the top earner being paid something between £150,000 and £174,999.
The DfE said: “The Department directly employs a number of individually contracted persons who do not fall under the responsibility of the Public Service Commission and as a consequence do not have a specific pay scale.
“These positions have no maxima as they are individually negotiated.
“To disclose the maxima, which in effect will be the actual amount being paid to the staff member concerned, may lead to the identification of that person and would therefore likely be a breach of their rights as stated above.
“However, these individual posts have been included in answer to your request in part one and three of your request as they cannot be easily identified in terms of salary paid.”
