“Human Rights Watch strives to maintain a competitive compensation system that is in the best interest of both the organization and our employees to appropriately compensate our workforce for the value of the work provided. It is our intention to use an objective and non-discriminatory compensation system based on periodically updated market data across multiple jurisdictions. Compensation is determined based upon external and internal equity within the given jurisdiction, contingent on an incumbent's education and relevant experience; while salary discussions will often include supervising directors, approval may only be granted by the Human Resources Director. Subsequent salary increases are based upon available organizational resources, the current cost of living trend and the employee's performance as evaluated by their immediate supervisor(s).”
