A brief description of the standard(s) against which compensation was assessed:
Maryville College (MC) has three single and/or multi-stakeholder committees that directly or indirectly provide recommendations on employee wages and benefits. The first committee is the Wages and Benefits Committee, coordinated by MC Staff Council. The committee serves a liaison function with the College administration regarding staff compensation and benefits. The committee advises the President on annual benefit renewals and other staff wage and benefit issues. The Staff Council determines the configuration of committee membership and selects staff representatives as well as the Chair. The second committee is the Planning and Budget Advisory Committee (PBAC). PBAC has staff, administrator, student and faculty representation and provides MC President with recommendation regarding budgetary issues, including employee wages and benefits. The third committee is the Faculty Liaison Committee (FLC). FLC is an elected faculty committee that is annually required to prepare an annual faculty salary report showing faculty compensation and trends and suggests recommendations to the faculty on faculty salary and benefits. FLC communicates with Staff Council on compensation issues related to both sets of employees (i.e., health insurance).
MC historically has provided salaries at a minimum level above TN and or US minimum wage levels (currently $9.25/hour at MC compared to $7.25/hour for US/TN minimum wage). MC has consistently provided free or reduced health insurance, term-life and other such benefits to hourly employees, along with wellness and access to campus amenities.
