A brief description of how the institution ensures that its lowest-paid workers (including contractors, if applicable) receive sustainable compensation:

The University of North Carolina at Greensboro adheres to the policy of the State of North Carolina to compensate its employees sufficiently to encourage excellent performance and to maintain labor market competitiveness. In addition, UNCG takes proactive steps to ensure internal equity and build career ladders and opportunities for the lowest paid employees. It uses all available resources including the State Personnel Commission’s annual compensation surveys. The results and recommendations are presented in the State of North Carolina 2011 Compensation & Benefits Report.

UNCG works actively to support and sustain a work environment which recognizes accomplishment and achievement. The following specific strategies are used to ensure sustainable and competitive completion for the lowest-paid employees:

1. The career banding program is structured to ensure SPA employees receive fair and equitable treatment in regard to compensation levels and career development opportunities. The Career Banding Compensation Strategy policy and guidelines will be applied effectively and equitably for all employees.

2. Human Resource Services use regional and local market data to ensure that the University offers a fair living wage and that the University is competitive with local employers.

3. The Human Resource Services Affirmative Action office regularly reviews salaries of the lowest paid employees to ensure that there is no disparate impact.

4. Human Resource Services conducts extensive training and development sessions designed to provide employees with the skills, knowledge, and abilities to advance in their careers.
