“Executive compensation shall be reviewed annually by the board of directors as part of the annual budget review. Executive staff will provide recommendations for compensation adjustment based on the following: a) fundability of proposed increases within the budget. B) compensation adjustments afforded direct care staff through state contract adjustments. C) comparison of compensation for executive staff in similar organizations based on the size and scope of agency operations. The board will vote on any permanent salary adjustments.”

“The organization strives to compensate staff in a fair and equitable manner according to academic credentials, certifications, professional trainings and/or experience. The organization has established a pay scale for each staff position and staff are placed on the scale based on the aforementioned criteria. Annual raises are provided to staff as funds become available from the commonwealth of massachusetts or as the budget may allow. Longevity pay increases may be issued once annually to staff who receive a satisfactory annual evaluation. Staff will not receive an increase once they obtain the top level on the longevity scale. In lieu of regular annual raises from time to time the organization may periodically issue one time pay adjustments to staff when the budget allows or if funds become available through the commonwealth of massachusetts. These adjustments may be either a fixed percentage for everyone or performance- based. One time increases are provided through the agency's payroll system, separately from staff's regular payroll checks.”

“The organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public on request.”
