Sustainable Compensation Provisional Score 7.60 / 8.00
Criteria // Institution evaluates, and updates as appropriate, its wages and benefits policies and its
guidelines for contractors operating on campus to ensure that total compensation (wages plus benefits)
for all on-campus workers is sufficient to enable these employees to meet their basic needs, as defined
by the institution. This evaluation is completed at least once every three years. Student workers are not
covered by this credit. While wages and total compensation set in the following ways may constitute
sustainable compensation, institutions should conduct a basic needs assessment to ensure that the total
compensation is adequate before claiming points for this credit: • Paying prevailing wages for job type
or classification • Paying average or above average wages for the region or city where the institution is
located • Paying minimum wages or a set amount above the minimum wage Policies and practices
adopted by entities of which the institution is part (e.g. state government or the university system) may
count for this credit as long as the policies apply to and are followed by the institution. Submission Note:

minimum wage and adjust wages to reflect changes in State law. Food Service Sanitation Workers and
Child Care Assistants currently make $8.25. The most recent year total compensation for the
institution’s lowest-paid workers (including contractors, if applicable) was evaluated to ensure that it
