Wage Rate Reviews
Annual wage rate reviews normally occur in the spring of each
year, with approved wage rate adjustments effective the first day
of the
pay period of the new fiscal year beginning July 1. The size of an
employee's wage rate increase will depend primarily upon the availability
of funds. The employee's job performance and his/her length of service
at Earlham also may be considered.
Employees who join Earlham between January
1 and March 31 of a given year should not expect to receive a
wage rate increase
equal in magnitude
to those of individuals who have been employed six (6) months or
longer as of July 1. Employees who join Earlham between April 1 and
June 30 of a given year are normally not given a wage increase on
July 1 of the same year; employees hired between April 1 and June
30 become eligible for the wage increase in the next year, 13 – 15
months after their hire date.
Temporary employees should not expect wage rate increases given
the short-term nature of their employment. In the event that
a temporary
employee is rehired for a second year or season of employment,
he/she may be offered a modest wage rate increase.
