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

Wake Forest University uses a compensation strategy that includes market pricing each position at WFU on an annual basis. We utilize five separate market survey tools which provide salary data for both higher education and industry and weight the surveys based on the position description matches and whether the position is specific to higher education or exist in other industries. Senior leadership has approved funding for market adjustments for staff positions with the priority for these adjustments being to first bring individuals up to the minimum range for their position (usually the 25th percentile of the survey) and then secondarily to move individuals to the 50th percentile based on years experience and individual performance.


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
