A brief description of how the institution ensures that its lowest-paid workers (including contractors, if applicable) receive sustainable compensation:
The University of Washington ensures that its lowest-paid workers receive sustainable compensation by:
Minimum Wage is Set above Living Wage Rate: The living wage for one adult in Seattle is $8.82 per hour according to the Poverty in America Living Wage research by Dr. Amy K Glasmeier and Pennsylvania State University (www.livingwage.mit.edu). The UW establishes and maintains salary ranges that meet or exceed this calculated living wage rate.
Washington state minimum wage is currently set at $9.04 per hour and is the highest state-mandated minimum wage rate in the United States. We also pay the Washington state prevailing wage for contractors.
Comprehensive Benefits, including Affordable Family Health Care: Maintaining affordable family healthcare is a key priority at the UW. In addition, the UW health care package supports wellness by providing full first-dollar coverage of preventive health care as defined by the CDC when an in-network provider is used. This kind of plan design, including mental health parity with other illnesses, provides excellent support for faculty and staff wellness by removing barriers to health care access.
Staying Competitive: UW Human Resources participates in multiple surveys to gauge the competitiveness of the UW’s salaries. The fiftieth percentile (the median) is set as a target for total cash compensation for our classified and professional staff employees.
