“All employees of spectrum for living, up to and including the president/ceo, are paid salaries determined by a set salary scale, which is reviewed and approved by the board of trustees. Executive level salaries, in particular, are paid within a scale, which defines a 40% difference between the minimum and maximum rates. When an employee at this level is hired, salary is determined based on any external data available, and with comparison to other positions at a similar level, and can be anywhere within this predetermined range. During years in which a salary increase is authorized by the budget, typical salary increases across the board, up to and including, the president/ceo are 3%. Any variations to this pay increase, either across the board or for any particular employee or group of employees, must be reviewed and approved by the board of trustees. This is also true of any changes to the salary scale itself.”
