33.94
US/Canadian $
Percentage of employees that receive a living wage (benefits excluded):
0
Part 2. Living wage for employees of contractors
Yes
A list or brief description of significant on-site contractors:
Since September 1, 2007, Stanford University has recognized the importance of paying a living wage to all service workers at the university, whether they are directly employed by Stanford or by suppliers and contractors. This applies to services performed on the core campus premises (including the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center) that Stanford might otherwise perform with directly hired hourly paid employees, and to supplier/contractor employees not represented under a collective bargaining relationship.
Stanford recognizes that a living wage and other benefits enhance the quality of an individual's work experience. Through these guidelines, Stanford seeks to establish minimum pay, access to healthcare benefits and compensated time off for service workers. These guidelines are not intended to prevent suppliers/contractors from providing wages and benefits in excess of the minimums created here.

Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
Please note that Stanford University uses a combination of local county and municipality wage data to develop its compensation data. Since Employee Compensation criteria for STARS requires the use of the MIT Calculator, the metrics above will not align with the data sources Stanford is using to determine a living wage. For instance, for this 2022 STARS submission, the MIT Calculator indicates a recent living wage of $33.94 as of February 2022, while the Santa Clara County considers a living wage without benefits to be $25.31 for the period of July 1 2021-June 30 2022: https://www.sccgov.org/sites/ceo/living-wage/Pages/living-wage.aspx
