CHAPEL HILL - About 290 UNC-Chapel Hill employees will soon be getting a raise.

The university is raising its minimum wage level to $25,000 for full-time employees, an increase of $4,888 from the current state minimum for public employees.

It will go into effect Nov. 21.

Part-time employees will receive an equivalent, pro-rated pay raise.

The raise is "because we are committed to doing all we can to keep your compensation competitive with salaries in Orange County and the surrounding Triangle area," Chancellor Holden Thorp wrote by e-mail this week to those employees who will get the increase.
