The College has made a formal commitment to move all staff to a living wage. A compensation study was conducted in 2017-2018 academic year with pay scales created by a third-party consultant. Upon completion of the study, the school reviewed all salaries to see how far they were from the mid at the 50th percentile. After reviewing the data, it was determined to set the mid at the 40th percentile, and to get all employees to the mid over two years: 2019-2020 and 2020-2021.

The College announced the following tiered percentage increases.
A) 2019-2020: 2.5% to those earning $0-$50,000; 2.0% to those earning $50,001 - $75,000; and
1.5% to those earning $75,001 and above.

B) 2020-2021: 3.0% increase to those earning up to $50,000; 2.5% increase to those earning $50,001 - $75,000; and 2.0% to those earning $75,001 and above.

Those who were below the mid were given 1/2 the amount plus the percentage appropriate to their salary.
