The answer

Your question has two parts:

First: The ruling on taxes. These are of two types: forbidden if taken unjustly, and permissible if they are for fulfilling the needs of the Ummah and the state's resources are insufficient for that.

Second: Employees receiving their salaries from the state, which collects both permissible and impermissible taxes. There is no objection to this matter.
