PA-9: Employee Compensation

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: Additional URL for administrative professional staff: http://www.siue.edu/humanresources/policiesadmin-pro-staff.shtml Other notes: The total count of 2452 includes full-time equivalent employees. As such, part-time employees are included in the calculations. Information provided by SIUE Human Resources. Records of STARS Report - 27 contractors are not maintained by this office. Total number of employees working on campus (including contractors): 2452. Number of employees (including contractors) that the institution ensures earn sustainable compensation: 2328. A brief description of how the institution ensures that its lowest-paid workers (including contractors, if applicable) receive sustainable compensation: The Office of Human Resources negotiates wages with our unions on behalf of the University. SEIU 73 Food Service represents some of the lowest paid positions on campus. Currently the entry level wage for a snack bar attendant & laundry worker (SEIU) is $9.19 per hour. The Payroll and Employment Departments ensure that no employees are paid below minimum wage and adjust wages to reflect changes in State law. Food Service Sanitation Workers and Child Care Assistants currently make $8.25.
