All Service/maintenance staff at IUPUI are covered by a collective bargaining unit. The union does not negotiate actual wages but can determine allocations of the salary pool as well as negotiate other working condition issues. The university has a minimum rate of pay for full-time staff of $10.00 per hour which is close to the poverty level for a family of four, but the rate is not directly tied to poverty levels by community across the state.

In addition, in order to meet the needs of the IU community in an economy that is increasing the standard of living, IU has increased the minimum wage to $8.25, $1 higher than the state minimum wage.

A brief description of the compensation (wages and benefits) provided to the institution’s lowest paid student employees (graduate and/or undergraduate, as applicable):
Student employment in the Indiana University system has three primary purposes: (1) to provide financial self-help so students may further their education; (2) to provide work opportunities that enhance the educational program through the learning of skills, responsibilities, habits, attitudes, and self-development associated with labor; (3) to increase interaction with faculty and the community so students may more readily adjust to university life. Student will be paid no less than $8.25/hr.
Graduate students typically receive a stipend set by the department but would include health care. Minimum wage for student employees is $10. Benefits are not available to student temporary workers. http://hr.iu.edu/policies/temporary/students.html
