A copy or brief description of the institution’s written policy stating its commitment to a living wage:
For the vast majority of UB employees for part III we exceed 125% of the living wage but because of how many employee designations we have across the university there are a few non full time positions that do not meet the living wage criteria (these are mostly Research Foundations positions working for PI's).
