Is ASU ever going to make a cost of living adjustment to employee salaries? I work full-time and then some and am struggling to make ends meet. With the astronomical rise in cost of living the salaries have not caught up and your employees are struggling.

Resolution:

Last fall, ASU set Staff pay minimums at $20.00 per hour and $42,000 per year for most every full-time and part-time non-exempt and exempt employee, respectively. This was followed up by ASU funding a Merit Program for calendar year 2023. ASU continues to monitor changes in the relevant labor markets and plans for wage adjustments based on this and the ability to fund increases from year-to-year. Please reach out to your internal HR liaison for guidance and/or providing feedback regarding your internal processes.

Employee salary minimum should start at $50,000 and higher because taxes and retirement leave us struggling to afford ends meat.

Resolution:

ASU is committed to providing total rewards (base pay, benefits, work-life balance, career development opportunities, and recognition programs) that are competitive and allow the university to attract and retain talented workers. As with most organizations, ASU reviews and evaluates a multitude of surveys encompassing pay and benefits to ensure our total rewards program is market aligned and competitive. In doing so, we are able to evaluate changes in the marketplace and proactively adjust our offerings to remain competitive.
