Q. Where can I find a list of VT faculty and staff salaries?

The most complete source of publicly available data on Virginia Tech (VT) employee salaries is Employees' salaries for Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (VT Salaries), a series of physical items held in the Course Reserves section of the Newman Library for short-term loan. The most current two years (e.g., Call numbers: LD5655.A3 E47 2025A/2025B and LD5655.A3 E47 2024A/2024B) are available at the User Services Desk on the second floor. You will need to ask a member of the Services Desk staff to retrieve them for you, and you'll need your library card to check them out. A VT Student/Staff/Faculty ID serves as your library card.

VT Salaries is also available for short-term loan from the Academic Building One Reserve at the University Libraries at Academic Building One, Alexandria. Older copies are available in the Special Collections and University Archives (SCUA), located on the first floor of the Newman Library. Employees' salaries for Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University is published once per year, usually during the summer.

However, it does not include additional details such as employee names, titles, departments, or classifications. As of the writing of this entry, the most recent year for which Commonwealth Data Point lists Virginia Tech employee salaries is 2024.

Additionally, several websites post salary information for Virginia Tech employees (as well as other government employees). Examples include GovSalaries and OpenPayrolls. These websites are not affiliated with Virginia Tech or any government organization, and they do not guarantee that the accuracy or completeness of the information presented.
