Stanford raises living wage for subcontracted workers
Stanford University will raise the living wage rate it requires contractors to pay their employees by more than 10 percent, President John Hennessy announced Monday.
The university decided to adjust the wage rates after reviewing comparable rates for a range of Bay Area municipalities that have living wage policies. Stanford raised the wage minimum for subcontracted employees who work on the university campus and receive health benefits from their employers to $11.15 per hour—a 10.4 percent increase. It raised the wage minimum for subcontracted employees who work on the university campus and do not receive health benefits to $12.59 per hour—a 10.9 percent increase. The new wage rates go into effect Sept. 1, 2006, the beginning of Stanford’s fiscal year.
