A brief description of how the institution ensures that its lowest-paid workers (including contractors, if applicable) receive sustainable compensation:
Southern Oregon University uses several tools and methods to ensure all employees receive sustainable compensation. The university is also known for having the most competitive benefits package in the region.
Compensation for union-represented employees is set through a collective bargaining process, which includes assessment of market factors and trends in wage adjustments. Salary surveys are conducted approximately every two years by the Oregon University System (OUS) against market rates for both pay rates and total compensation.
Collective bargaining agreements for union-represented employees are also used to determine sustainable compensation for temporary employees hired by the university.
Faculty and staff compensation is assessed and updated based on market and peer comparators. The Human Resources Department conducts compensation reviews of every position annually to ensure competitive salary and benefit packages.
