North Idaho College: Compensation Study

Evergreen Solutions was engaged with North Idaho College (NIC) to provide professional services to review compensation (salary/wages) for identified regular, full-time positions (estimate between 60-75 benchmark job descriptions) and adjunct faculty positions, and recommend possible wage adjustments in alignment with the College’s compensation structure. The College’s labor market is generally private and public employers in the Inland Northwest for exempt staff positions and more specifically, Kootenai County and Spokane County areas for nonexempt. The labor market for faculty is generally the Northwest and Mountain States regions. The study provided the actions that should be taken to avoid loss of qualified staff and faculty, and difficulties in recruiting new employees to NIC employment.
