Default Stand-off

I am replacing the 8x8 posts that hold up the roof over a concrete patio
slab.
If I just rest the posts on the slab they will be susceptible to dry rot.

Would it be OK to place the foot of the post on a pressure treated piece of
DF? Or, can I put the post on an 8x8 concrete paver? Would a paver be
crushed by the weight?

Any other solutions to avoid dry rot?
