Joan Rivers' staff are still being paid.
It is believed the comedienne - who tragically passed away after surgery complications last year - wanted her housekeeping staff and beauty team to be financially secure even after she died.
A source said: "Melissa [Rivers; her daughter] is still paying everyone; she's
still taking care of everyone, because that's what Joan asked her to do. She's being a guardian angel.
"If you worked for Joan, she paid you a good salary, she covered your health care, she paid for your kid to go to college, and it was a job for life. Melissa has continued their health care and has helped everyone for the past year without a complaint."
And the 47-year-old television producer has been particularly close to Joan's assistant of 20 years, Jocelyn Pickett.
