Compensation Salary Study for MSUAFF Bargaining Unit

The Minnesota State System Office is seeking proposals from qualified vendors to conduct a comprehensive salary study of MSUAASF employees across the seven state universities within the Minnesota State system. The study aims to ensure compensation practices are competitive, equitable, compliant, and aligned with institutional goals while reflecting current market trends in higher education. The selected vendor will analyze compensation within individual institutions to determine whether employee pay is aligned with equity, experience, and market conditions. The study should provide evidence-based, actionable insights to support fair and transparent pay policies. • Analyze internal pay equity at each state university for positions within defined ranges. • Assess external market competitiveness for comparable public higher education positions. • Identify potential pay disparities, including wage compression and impacts of length of service. • Recommend sustainable strategies for maintaining pay equity and competitiveness. • Provide actionable tools and models for future monitoring and decision-making. • Communicate results and recommendations clearly for consideration by Minnesota State.
