Colby provides a comprehensive salary and benefits program in order to attract and retain a highly qualified and diverse workforce. The College uses a number of surveys in order to determine appropriate compensation standards for its workforce, including analyses from the College and University Professional Association for Human Resources (CUPA), the State of Maine, and telephone surveys when necessary. The collection of these efforts ensures that employees are receiving compensation at sustainable levels, comparable to our peer institutions, and well above Maine state salary points.

A brief description of the standard(s) against which compensation was assessed:
Colby provides a comprehensive salary and benefits program in order to attract and retain a highly qualified and diverse workforce. All of Colby's full-time salary levels far exceed the 2014 individual Federal Poverty Guideline of $11,670. The College uses this individualized standard as a candidate's family situation varies from candidate to candidate. In all circumstances wages are determined based off surveys from our peer institutions, and Maine state salary points. By employing this process, we ensure that our wages are comparable to our peers, and well above Maine state salary points for similar positions in order to ensure a highly qualified and diverse workforce.
