The Colorado College Compensation Committee considers the self-sufficiency standard for El Paso County as published by The Colorado Center on Law and Policy, as it makes recommendations to the college administration regarding annual salary increases. Full and part time (benefit eligible) faculty and staff salary structures start at a minimum of $11.28 per hour, which is well above the self-sufficiency standard for El Paso County ($9.99 for a single adult as last published in 2015). Sodexo, the college’s facilities management contractor, and Bon Appetit, its food service provider, also follow Colorado College policy regarding the living wage based on the El Paso County 2015 Self-Sufficiency Standard. Sodexo’s entry wage follows the college at $11.28 per hour, and the beginning hourly rate for Bon Appetit workers is also $11.28 and may increase based on experience and position.
