From the Employee Handbook: Establishment of Salary & Bonuses for Executive Director "It is the task of the Executive Committee to conduct an annual review of the Executive Director's performance and at that time also to review the Executive Director's compensation. The Executive Committee may then at its discretion recommend, for approval by the full board, a salary adjustment, bonus or extra paid time off, taking into account the Executive Director's performance, Elizabeth River Project's salary scale, Elizabeth River Project's financial conditions and budget constraints. In considering compensation options, the committee may elect to discuss with the Executive Director which would be most meaningful to him or her." The Executive Director determines compensation for key staff, with reference to periodic reviews of industry data on comparable positions. The Administrative and Accounting Policies manual establishes general position categories or levels, and a range of permitted compensation for each level. Each year salaries for individual positions and staff are compared to ensure equity based on expertise and experience. Current/proposed compensation, including benefits, are approved by the full Board as an element in the detail of the annual budget. No employee compensation is tied to specific benchmarks such as fundraising or other targets.
