Job Classification Levels/Wage Rates

In determining the appropriate classification level for a particular staff position, the relative magnitude of a number of factors pertaining to the position are considered. These include: nature and difficulty of duties and responsibilities, individual discretion required, autonomy in performance of duties, confidentiality of information handled, impact of an error in performance of duties, skills/education/licensing/certification required, supervisory duties, interaction with key publics, overall workload (both peak and average), local market conditions, hazardous materials used, strenuous physical activity required, and hazardous machinery used/hazardous working environment. In light of the above factors, a given position is grouped with other positions on campus into a particular classification level.

Wage rates are set based primarily upon a position's classification level and an employee's prior continuous service to Earlham.

Responsibility for determining job classification levels and wage rates for staff employees will rest with the Assistant Vice President for Business Operations in consultation with the Vice President for Financial Affairs. Supervisors/department heads are encouraged to provide any information useful in making such determinations.
