A brief description of how the institution ensures that its lowest-paid workers (including contractors, if applicable) receive sustainable compensation:
Approximately half of the University's employees are faculty. All faculty are covered under collective bargaining agreements. The University negotiates with the exclusive representatives of the the faculty bargaining units on pay and benefits. The other half of the employees are staff. 5% of staff employees are covered under a collective bargaining agreement. The University negotiates with exclusive representative of that bargaining unit on pay and benefits. 95% of the staff are not represented by a union. For these employees, the University establishes a pay scale ranging from $9.13 per hour to $62.81 per hour. (State of Alaska minimum wage is $7.75.) The University has a job family classification system which places jobs on the pay scale based upon the characteristics of the job (authority, knowledge, skills, ability, scope, complexity). Using State of Alaska Occupation codes to compare employee wages to mean wages in the state for each occupation, an analysis of non-represented staff positions found that 56% are paid above the mean for their occupation class.
