A brief description of how the institution ensures that its lowest-paid workers (including contractors, if applicable) receive sustainable compensation:
The University moved, in 2001, to a pay floor of $12.00 an hour for nonacademic staff working 20 or greater hours a week. This pay floor was established through the collective bargaining process. The floor was then adopted for the University’s non-represented Civil Service employees. The non-academic pay floor was increased and/or maintained, since 2001, through successive collective bargaining agreements and the Civil Service Pay Plans.
Minimum salaries have also been established for academic appointments and vary based on job classification. The lowest minimum among academic job classifications is $25,727.
The University’s Office of Human Resources biannually reviews its compensation and recognition systems.
The University’s compensation and recognition principles are three fold:
1) To achieve and maintain compensation and recognition systems that are competitive to appropriate labor markets when combined with benefits and other rewards;
2)To recognize and reward meritorious performance; and
3)To ensure fair and equitable practices.
