Central New Mexico Community College
PA-11: Employee Compensation

The minimum wage is based on 1 adult and CNM meets this requirement. It does not meet the "living wage" for a family of four. The 88% reported above was estimated by counting employees that make less than the "living wage based on family of four" from the "CNM Employee Titles and wages" page. Eligible employees may purchase health, life, dental, vision and disability insurance coverage through CNM’s group insurance plan. A portion of the medical and disability insurance costs as provided by law and approved by the Governing Board is paid by the College; the remaining cost is paid by the employee. The College pays 100 percent of the basic life premium. Also available is an Internal Revenue Service Section 125 Plan which allows employees to obtain certain benefits on a pretax basis.
