Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
As there is no central way to track the employees of contractors that work on-site this percentage has been entered as 0.
All support staff positions competing for positions longer than 12 months are evaluated by Job and Organizational Design in Central Human Resources. This is to ensure internal equity and to ensure university salaries are competitive in the market.
The university conducts an external market survey approximately every five years to ensure salaries are competitive with the market. The most recent survey conducted was in 2014 and results indicated that support staff salaries are approximately 13.4 per cent ahead of the Alberta market.
