The comparative standing of Trinity and other colleges in regard to salaries and other benefits is listed in each summer edition of the AAUP Bulletin.

Salary increases are made on the basis of individual merit. Each chair annually submits a written report and evaluation concerning each member of his/her department, and this is used as a basis of discussion with the Dean and the President with regard to salary adjustments, reappointments, and promotions.

On 12/9/80, the Faculty resolved that the College must set priorities in addressing three aspects of salary distribution:

(1) correcting inequities, structural and individual, and

(2) offsetting the effects of inflation, and

(3) using individual evaluations of merit;

that the College should correct inequities and meet the inflated cost of living before using individual merit evaluations in salary determinations; and that the Dean and President should propose a salary distribution plan commensurate with these priorities and convey this resolution to the Board of Trustees.

The Faculty is paid monthly. Checks are distributed by the payroll office on the 29th of each month. If the 29th falls on a holiday or weekend, Faculty members are paid the last working day before the 29th. Members of the Faculty may arrange for direct deposit of their checks in checking and/or savings accounts at local banks. Forms for this purpose are available in the Payroll Department.
