Support Staff Salary Ranges

The Support Staff salary structure consists of 5 salary ranges (2 through 6). Every support staff job/position has its own discrete job/position code. The second digit in the job/position code designates the grade. The alpha portion designates the job/position family. The third set of digits indicates the sequential order in which that particular job/position was created.

For example, job/position code 04FN06 indicates that this job/position is a grade 4 in the Financial job/position family, and was created 6th in a set of approximately 10 job/positions created in grade 4.

Note that a job/position family is a set of job/positions that has similar types of duties, similar skill sets, or exists under a similar functional grouping. Following is a list of MIT's support staff job/position families:

For more information, see the Support Staff Position Summaries (Microsoft Word).

To determine the annual salary amount, multiply the hourly rate by the number of hours to be worked per week and then multiply by fifty-two weeks. See actual hourly and annual rates for 35-, 37.5- and 40-hour work weeks.
