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

Macalester College recently overhauled the pay scales and position descriptions for the college and developed a system to make sure that our compensation is contemporary, fair, and equitable to attract and retain a high-caliber, diverse workforce. The Employee Services Department participates in salary surveys to use market prices for positions, instead of prevailing wages, and continually monitors to ascertain that benefit cost increases to employees are limited to the greatest extent possible. The Department also monitors the City of St. Paul living wage definition and comfortably exceeds it.


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:
2,011
