<p>Well ... not for work-study, but for the full-time workers it pays. </p>
<p>I saw that mine hires at 10.14 / hour a minimum. (U.Va</a>. Human Resources: Paybands) I wouldn't say that is generous, but it seems better than the federally-mandated 6.55 currently. What about other schools, though? And for those that pay significantly higher, in general, is it because of the more stringent requirements for such workers, out of a sense of humanitarianism and a large endowment, etc.?</p>
<p>To be honest, I have no idea what the minimum wage for on-campus jobs is at my school (in fact, I don't even know if there IS one!), so I'll be interested to see what the replies here are.</p>
<p>Well at my school there are many work-study positions going for 7-8 per hour ... but that's work study and not full-time (housekeeping, etc.)</p>

<p>Most colleges and universities pay at least $7.00/hr for work-study positions.</p>
<p>Well yes, but I'm not talking about work-study. :)</p>

<p>If it's not a federal work-study position, I would say a minimum $8.00-$9.00/hr for a typical non-work-study campus job is not unusual. It depends on the work.</p>
<p>The same as the state's minimum wage, $7.65, for work-study and "student labor" jobs (the latter is jobs given to students out of University funding, not federal funding, for students without work-study). I can't find anything on the minimum wage for full-time employees, but I would imagine it's the same or slightly higher.</p>
<p>I don't know what the wages at my college are in general, but I know that one dining hall worker who has worked for the college for 30+ years barely makes $10 per hour. </p>
<p>Another curious fact: the maximum wage for undergraduate student workers at my colleges is $9.00 an hour.</p>
<p>This is my second year at my (non work study) job, last year I was making 6.50 (before min. wage went up this summer). Now the newcomers will be making min wage but I'll be making 7.00. But work-study jobs pay basic minimum wage unless you've been there a while (it was still 5.15 when I had a work study job, then I got a raise to 5.50 after 6 months and then minimum wage went up to 5.85). Of course, I live in a place where the cost of living is pretty low, so...</p>
<p>Student minimum wage is 11.30 where I go, which is high compared to what I'm seeing here.</p>
<p>^ Is that Yale by any chance? I remember my friend mentioning something about the minimum wage being around there.</p>
<p>I think our minimum wage on campus is like 8 or 8.50. Highest I've heard of is about 10.50.</p>
<p>I believe its a bit higher then 10.00 but that is because I'm in Canada and our minimum wage is 8.75.</p>
<p>well, the jobs that the school provides us for educational purposes pay 3.50 an hour plus room and board</p>
<p>I'm making $6.75/hour.</p>
<p>Emory is 7.5
OK, just OK. I really hope I exceed my $2000 govt work study they granted me, though... so I can actually KEEP that money. :D</p>
<p>OMG. $10.14/hr minimum?? that's outrageously good.</p>
<p>mine's $8.20-$8.50 to start.</p>
