staffer
Someone on payroll
A staffer is a member of a staff—someone employed by an organization, especially in a support or administrative role.
The word appears most often in journalism and politics: White House staffers, campaign staffers, congressional staffers.
It distinguishes employees from principals, executives, or elected officials they serve.
