“Monitored through an annual request.”

“In 2021, conducted a full Market Competitive Study related to staff salaries utilizing an external consultant with expertise in wage and salary market studies. CHL sought to understand whether current pay levels were competitive in the market. CHL was able to ascertain how current CHL base pay data compares to market data on a per-benchmark position basis. Data was reviewed from the Not-for-Profit Education industry for less than 25 employees with relevant geographic differentiators. Once CHL was able to understand the current relationship of pay rates to the external market, the organization could make appropriate adjustments to pay, where warranted. As part of this process, a gap was identified in the Executive Director's salary and an adjustment was made. CHL plans to use the data in future hiring decisions as well as identifying the cost of bringing CHL employees to market rate if gaps were identified.”
