Total salaries and wages (all staff categories) |
Per ACRL: "If reporting salaries and wages by staffing type would expose an employee's salary and wage information, please know you are not required to report a single employee's salary and wages. Provide a comment for fields left blank noting that salary and wages are not being reported to protect confidentiality." This total is autogenerated by ACRL. Include ALL categories of salaries and wages in ACRL, or include NONE and complete this field manually in IPEDS. Including only some of the salary/wage expenditure categories will generate an inaccurate total.
