Pay Rates & Job Descriptions

The rate of pay for each job is determined by the specific responsibilities of the job. At the University of Richmond, we have a two-tier wage rate structure. It is the department’s responsibility to have all job descriptions on file and determine what the correct pay level is for each job by using the 2 job descriptions provided as a guide.

Effective August 21st, 2022, the minimum wage for student employees is $12.00 per hour.

Each job description level has a set wage range listed below. The wage rate for all student jobs must fall within the wage range for that level. Supervisors may submit a wage rate change EPAF in order to make changes to the student's pay rate provided it is inside the set wage range.
