Compensation

To most employees “compensation” means salary, but it is much more than that. Total compensation is really the investment an organization makes in its people. Total compensation is the compilation of not only salary but employer contributions to insurance programs, retirement, services, discounts and other benefits — in essence, the value of the various components of the compensation package, both direct and indirect.

Office of the Provost HR group supports the mission and goals of the university by administering its fair, equitable, competitive and creative compensation programs and practices for USC non-faculty staff.
