ETSU Salary Schedules

Fundamental to the administration of wages and salaries within the Tennessee Board of Regents (TBR) and East Tennessee State University is a commitment to pay equitable and competitive salaries as determined by internal job analyses and external market statistics within the limits of resources appropriated. It is intended that this compensation system attract and maintain competent and well-qualified employees and provide a fair and objective reward structure.

The East Tennessee State University Compensation Plan was developed to insure that administrative/professional and clerical/support employees are classified accurately and equitably paid in accordance with the complexities of their job duties. The Plan is not an employee performance appraisal technique but a quantitative job evaluation instrument (http://www.etsu.edu/humanres/ppp-32.htm).

Applicants for ETSU positions, and ETSU supervisors discussing salaries with potential candidates relocating to the Johnson City area, may try Salary Comparison Calculator. The calculator compares the cost of living in specified U.S. cities.

The "Proposed Faculty/Administrative Compensation Package" spreadsheet allows search committee chairs to calculate a candidate's proposed total compensation, including university payments for retirement, health/life insurance, FICA, FICA-Med, 401K, and longevity. This spreadsheet may be valuable when discussing salaries and benefits with potential candidates. To access the form, click here.
