A brief description of how the institution ensures that its lowest-paid workers (including contractors, if applicable) receive sustainable compensation:
Most of Mount Holyoke College’s lower wage workers are employed in dining services and facilities. Wage structures are established through union contract negotiations. Before negotiations, Mount Holyoke College conducts market research utilizing salary survey information from national higher education and regional cross-industry surveys. Currently, all employees in the lower wage categories are earning higher hourly wages than average for the region. The lowest paid workers earn more per hour than the local living wage as presented at livingwage/mit.edu. In addition, a comparison of fringe benefits demonstrates a higher than average rate of non-wage compensation.
