During two sessions, WMU officials and an Aon representative will offer details and answer questions about the compensation system review project at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 10, in the Fetzer Center's Kirsch Auditorium.
Each of the presentations will be live streamed, and videos of the sessions will be archived.

WMU last completed a study of its compensation structure for more than 1,200 professional, administrative, clerical and technical employees in 2015. That two-year process, from 2013 to 2015, resulted in a new, market-based staff compensation system that launched July 1, 2015.
At the time, consultants recommended WMU institute a regular process to "recalibrate" its compensation system every two to five years, based upon market pressure and resources. The University committed to conducting a market update in fiscal year 2018-19, with any changes to be effective July 1, 2019.
To learn more, employees are encouraged to attend the town hall meetings and to visit the project website at wmich.edu/hr/scs-market, which will continue to be updated as the project unfolds.
