The College provides the following benefits as required by law: Workers' Compensation, Social
Security, Medicare, Unemployment Compensation, and Health Insurance Continuation
(COBRA).
III.G. Compensation Policies, Salary Schedule, and Rationale
Regular salaries are paid on a twelve-month basis; therefore, one-twelfth of the salary for nine
months' teaching is paid on the 29th of each of the twelve months in the year, beginning with
September 29. Whenever the 29th falls on a Saturday or Sunday the monthly check will be
issued on the preceding Friday. The College deposits payroll checks directly into a bank of the
individual's choice. The Associate Vice President for Human Resources will explain to
individual faculty members the deductions made for taxes, Social Security, Medicare, health
insurance, retirement, and other types of insurance.
The College participates in the annual faculty salary studies conducted by the American
Association of University Professors and specifies that the data furnished may be published in
the spring issue of
Academ
e.
This data on average salaries and benefits by rank is, therefore,
publicly available. In all other instances, the College considers an individual's salary
confidential and does not reveal it to any source except as required by law.
The Provost makes recommendations to the President for salary increases, whose decision is
final. Criteria for salary increases are based upon and include, but are not limited to, the
following: effectiveness in teaching; effectiveness in the advising of students; training and
experience; research and creative activity; and contributions to the life of the academic and
surrounding community.
