A brief description of the sustainable compensation standards, guidelines, or policies; and/or collective bargaining agreements covering staff, faculty and/or employees of contractors:
It is the policy of the State of North Carolina to compensate its employees sufficiently to encourage excellent performance and to maintain labor market competitiveness.
The Chancellor’s 2007 policy raised the minimum salaries of full-time permanent SPA (i.e., covered by the State Personnel Act) employees to $25,000 as a way of addressing the issue of providing a “living wage." This was a significant act given the fact that the minimum salary permitted by the State’s compensation plan was (and still is) well below that mark. There is no such threshold for other types of employees.
