Competitive Total Rewards Packages

In seeking to attract and retain the best talent, Tennessee State University offers competitive total rewards packages while recognizing top performers for their outstanding contributions to the University.

All positions are classified according to relative job requirements and responsibilities. Each job classification is assigned an appropriate skill level. All jobs are paid within a salary range. Information on the salary range for your job classification may be obtained from your supervisor or the Human Resources Office. Usually, new employees are paid at the beginning of the applicable salary range. If salary increases are awarded, such increases are usually approved annually and are usually effective at July 1. There is no guarantee or assurance of salary increases since all increases are based on the state appropriation and other relevant factors regarding the operation of the University.

Student Payroll

All College Work Aid student employees will be paid by direct deposit. Students in the College Work Study program are also encouraged to be paid by direct deposit. The Placement Office will collect the direct deposit forms for students in the College Work Study program.
