In the event that the chair has an actual or potential conflict of interest, the chair shall disclose that interest to the full board of directors.”

“In august 2022, the organization introduced its compensation policy and principles, which reflects the organization's committment to being an inclusive and equitable organization, and describes its policy aroung compensation in light of that committment.

Verified voting strives to maintain internal equity for employees performing similar functions based on the requisite knowledge, skills, complexity, autonomy, experience, contacts, scope, and decision-making or supervisory responsibility required to perform those functions and will comply with all applicable federal and state laws and regulations. Verified voting sets salaries based on job responsibilities, qualifications, and value added to the organization. Verified voting values consistency, transparency, and clarity. This includes sharing and making easily accessible our compensation philosophy, procedures for setting wages, and the total the organization spends on staff compensation. If verified voting at any point requires a geographic (re)location for any or some of its employees, it may factor in the cost of labor specific to that market and adjust the salary accordingly and prior to the first pay period worked at the new location.
