A brief description of how the institution ensures that its lowest-paid workers (including contractors, if applicable) receive sustainable compensation:
In 2004, Duke implemented a starting pay range of $10 per hour was based on creating a standard for regular employment at Duke that exceeds the federal minimum wage and the poverty guidelines for a family of four. In 2007, Duke University also required contracted food service vendors to offer full-time employees at least $10 per hour and basic health care coverage similar to what Duke offers its own employees.
In 2013, the starting pay range moved to $10.91. Taken together with benefits, Duke’s total compensation package compares very favorably to most competitors and peer institutions. Duke reviews its pay ranges annually to ensure competitive compensation.
