Last year, tiers were introduced to jobs; tier 1 jobs were open to upperclassmen and tier 2 to underclassmen. However, the tiers did not dictate any changes to the pay rate, as all students were paid $10/hour. After these changes are made, the students must not confuse the tiers because the tiers will still not determine the pay rate. “The pay is tied to the student, not the position or the tier,” Perry said. “Just because you are in tier 2 does not mean you are going to make more money.” While the students will not be demoted from $10 an hour to $8 if they underperform, a score below 3 on the evaluation will result in ineligibility for being rehired.
