Position Classifications

Position Classifications

Swarthmore is a complex organization with staff positions from several different industries. We use an evaluation system to analyze positions and to organize them into position classifications. Our position classification system helps to maintain an internal sense of fairness in compensating widely varying positions. Positions are evaluated using a number of potential factors such as education, experience, organizational impact, complexity of skills, and supervision. Position pay ranges reflect the overall value of positions to the College, as well as local, regional, and national salary information that is studied by Swarthmore each year.
