Part 3. Minimum total compensation for employees

Total compensation provided to the institution’s lowest paid regular, part-time or full-time employee or pay grade meets or exceeds what percentage of the living wage?:
None of the above (i.e. the lowest paid regular employee or pay grade earns less than the living wage)

A brief description of the minimum total compensation provided to the institution’s lowest paid employee or pay grade:
ASU pays no less than the MIT Living Wage for Maricopa County for one adult or the State Minimum wage, whichever is greater (evaluated January 1st each year). ASU's lowest-paid employee is not eligible for benefits due to working less than 20 hours per week.

Note: this does not align with the STARS requirements for this metric so ASU does not claim credit in this section.
