The New School
PAE-11: Sustainable Compensation

The New School administers a salary administration program that provides an equitable and systematic means of compensating its various categories of employees in relation to their assigned duties and responsibilities and, to the most reasonable degree possible, recognize differences in employee performance levels. Further, it is the university's policy that its salary administration practices and compensation levels are competitive with those in like organizations for comparable job categories. Human Resources tracks the market by participating in annual salary surveys and, wherever possible, obtaining salary information on "industry standard" positions, typically referred to as benchmark jobs i.e., those jobs that are typical in higher education and other industries and are easily matched and compared to jobs at The New School. Salary survey results provide us with market data and salary range data for jobs similar to ours. Hiring rates for non-administrative positions are established in the collective bargaining agreement between the University and the following unions: • The International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Local 1205 • Local 32BJ, SEIU and The Realty Advisory Board on Labor Relations, Inc (RAB) • Local 32BJ, SEIU • Local 7902 Academics Come Together/ACT-UAW • Associated Musicians of Greater New York, Local 802, American Federation of Musicians, AFL-CIO • Local 1 of ILATSE A recent compensation study for The News School’s workers was conducted spring 2011.
