A brief description of how the institution ensures that its lowest-paid workers (including contractors, if applicable) receive sustainable compensation:
We are required to adhere to the State of Arkansas compensation plan. We evaluate positions to make sure the compensation is appropriate within State guidelines for the duties and responsibilites of the positions.
We pay above minimum wage for all hourly employees, including students. We pay prevailing wage rates for our skilled trades. The one area that we don't have now is the "regional market competitiveness". We have had labor market rates in the past but the new State pay plan removed them. We have just recently received the okay from the State Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to submit differentials for approval (labor markets are a form of differentials.)
