Southern Adventist University has a wage scale for salaried employees comparable to other North American denominational entities. Hourly employees are paid a community wage scale. Within the limits of the scale, wages are set and increases are given. General wage levels are dependent on the financial situation of the institution.
The employee’s starting wage is based on experience, responsibility, skill, etc. Increases will depend upon recommendations made until the maximum scale has been reached. Once an individual has reached his or her maximum rate, further increases in pay will be based on cost-of-living increases approved and applied by Southern Adventist University Board.
