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

In May/June of each year, the Compensation Manager reviews all staff jobs to collect appropriate eternal market data to ensure we are paying fairly. When necessary and the employee’s performance is average or above, adjustments are made if we discover that someone is significantly underpaid.

Academic Affairs reviews faculty compensation a different point in the year to ensure faculty are being compensated appropriately. They also make adjustments when necessary and appropriate.


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:
2,012

If we include seasonal, temporary, and independent consultants we have 1,108 employees on campus. If we exclude the seasonal employees then the number drops to 999. Examples of seasonal employees are folks that work in season at our skating rink, counselors who work on campus during summer camps, as well as part-time assistant coaches that only work during a specific season. The independent consultants include those that are active on campus right now and do not include visiting performers or visiting speakers. We also do not track those employees that work for services that we contract out such as the Bookstore and Dining Services.

We review compensation as we hire folks for our regular or temporary employees so this would be 964 employees that we ensure earn a sustainable compensation. We do not have specific assessments that take place on wages for seasonal employee or independent consultants. We do however ensure that there is consistency among these employees.
