How does the university determine the market average pay rate for jobs?
BYU-Idaho participates in three major salary surveys each year: College and University Professional Association for Human Resources (CUPA-HR), Idaho Compensation and Benefits, and Idaho Occupational Employment and Wages. Other regional or company specific studies are done as appropriate to assess market salaries in addition to these surveys. Collectively, these surveys provide comprehensive salary data for jobs throughout the nation including within our region and state. The salary range is based on market research and internal job evaluations. Market research is a process of determining the average pay rate assigned to particular jobs in the market; internal job evaluation is a process of determining the internal equity of jobs on campus in relation to one another.
