Pay Transparency

California now requires employers like Stanford to include an expected pay range on every job posting. Employees are entitled to request and receive the pay range for their current position.

Stanford is committed to providing market-competitive pay based on the market benchmarks in the geographic region where work is performed, role requirements (scope and complexity), and the education, relevant experience of individuals in roles, as well as demand for such roles.

Pay is one component of Stanford’s overall total rewards program. The university also provides a diverse array of benefits to help employees take care of themselves and their families, including health, wellness, retirement savings, and time-off programs. Employees may come to you as their manager with questions or concerns about their compensation. Please work with your HR representative on questions about compensation or pay ranges for current employees.
