A brief description of how the institution ensures that its lowest-paid workers (including contractors, if applicable) receive sustainable compensation:
Salaries are reviewed periodically and compared to market data to ensure that Wesleyan is compensating its employees equitably. Wesleyan ensures that all of its employees receive wages in excess of the national minimum living wage threshold. Contractors must comply with Wesleyan's “Employment Code for Service Contractors.” This code, updated in December 2012, "requires that service contractors provide competitive total compensation (wages and benefits). The current hourly wage standard is $11.36 per hour, which is in excess of the weighted average poverty threshold for a family of four established by the U.S. Census Bureau, and the current total compensation standard is $14.13 per hour. The University will change the minima each fall by the percentage that the weighted average poverty threshold changes."
