Compensation structure for staff
A compensation structure provides a consistent framework for how roles are defined, organized and compensated across the institution. Organizing roles and pay scales into a structure supports transparency, equity and alignment with the external employment market while establishing a shared understanding of how positions are organized and compensated at K-State.
K-State maintains a staff job architecture that includes job families, subfamilies, job titles and pay structures for both unclassified staff and university support staff positions. Pay grades are established using market data and are based on a review of job duties.
