Upholding Our University Values Through Fair Compensation

We firmly believe that every member of our university community plays a vital role in achieving our mission of excellence in education and research. Guided by our core values of equity, respect, and inclusivity, we are committed to ensuring that all our employees feel valued and supported. One of the key ways we demonstrate this commitment is by providing fair and livable wages that significantly exceed national standards.

Fostering a Supportive and Inclusive Workplace

We are dedicated to creating a workplace where every individual can thrive both professionally and personally. By offering competitive salaries, we aim to enhance the well-being of our employees and their families. This not only reflects our commitment to fairness but also contributes to a motivated and dedicated workforce, which in turn elevates the quality of education and services we provide.

Exceeding National Wage Standards

Understanding the importance of financial stability, we have implemented wage policies that go well beyond statutory requirements. In Uzbekistan, the minimum wage is currently set at 1,155,000 Uzbekistani soms (source: lex.uz). Recognizing that this amount may not fully meet the needs of individuals or families, we ensure that our employees receive significantly higher compensation.

Competitive Salaries Across All Staff Categories

We are proud to offer starting salaries that substantially exceed the minimum wage across all staff categories:

By providing these elevated wages, we affirm our commitment to valuing our employees' contributions and supporting their financial well-being. We believe that when our staff are well-compensated and appreciated, it fosters a positive and productive environment that benefits the entire university community.
