The New York State Department of Labor has announced incremental minimum wage increases annually until the minimum wage is $15.00 across New York State. Effective December 31, 2023, New York State minimum wage will increase from $14.20 to $15.00 per hour.
What does the minimum wage increase mean for student employees?
In accordance with this new minimum wage, the Ithaca College Student Salary Structure has been amended. This update will result in the adjustment of hourly rates for many of our student employees in each job level at IC.
- Students currently earning salaries of $14.20 per hour will begin receiving $15.00 per hour on December 31st.
-
Students currently earning salaries higher than $14.20 per hour will receive an increment up to the ceiling of their current job grade.
What does the minimum wage increase mean for student supervisors?
Adjustments will take effect on December 31, 2023, and no action will need to be taken by student supervisors or hiring departments. All students hired after December 31st will need to be hired in accordance with the 2024 IC Student Salary Structure.
Student employees can review their compensation in the Personal Information app in IC HR Cloud. Likewise, student supervisors can review the compensation of all student employees in their team through the My Team app in IC HR Cloud.
The Office of Human Resources will work with supervisors to determine if the changes in the student salary structure will result in equity and/or compression issues for staff and will address those accordingly.
