Total number of employees working on campus (including contractors):

Number of employees (including contractors) that the institution ensures earn sustainable compensation:
803

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

UW-Green Bay adheres to all federal and state laws on minimum wage. In addition, on the UW-Green Bay campus, the lowest paid workers are ensured equity in compensation through annual comparisons of prevailing wages agains the Green Bay Area Chamber of Commerce wage survey. Comparisons are also drawn between the UW-Green Bay campus and other campuses in the University of Wisconsin system, both those in closer proxmity to Green Bay for a regional snapshot, as well as to those of a similar size (students/faculty/staff) from across the state. For part-time positions, comparisons are pulled to full-time workers in the same position to monitor pay equity.

Sustainable and comptetive compensation in the UW System is an increasing challenge as further state budget cuts and a significant increase in employee contributions to benefit plans, following no pay increases for multiple years, erodes take-home pay.


The most recent year total compensation for the institution’s lowest-paid workers (including contractors, if applicable) was evaluated to ensure that it was sustainable:
2,010
