A brief description of the sustainable compensation standards, guidelines, or policies; and/or collective bargaining agreements covering staff, faculty and/or employees of contractors:
The following text was drawn from the SIT Statement on Compensation Philosophy:
Compensation packages must encourage recruitment and retention of outstanding faculty, staff and administrators. Stevens should be prepared to pay appropriately for outstanding individuals who add to the intellectual vibrancy of our campus and help to propel the University to higher levels of achievement.
The goal for Stevens is to have an average Total Cash Compensation of faculty [and staff] in the 50th to 60th percentile range of a peer group of comparable national universities as carefully selected by an independent compensation consulting firm. As an alternative, the average base salary of faculty [and staff] should be in the 50th to 60th percentile range of the peer group. It is expected that there may be significant variability in the compensation of individual faculty members based on one’s stature in the profession, excellence and productivity in teaching, research and service, as well as length of service to the University and profession. In recruiting new faculty members, every effort will be made to ensure the compensation packages are competitive relative to those at institutions we compete with.
The objectives stated ... above should be reviewed and, if necessary, revised at least once every three years. As the overall stature and productivity of Stevens improves, either (i) the peer group should be reviewed so that Stevens remains within the middle of the peer group in terms of its stature and ranking, or (ii) the expected average base salary and/or Total Cash Compensation should be increased to a level higher that the current suggested 50th to 60th percentile range of the peer group.
