“The organization looks at national and local comparison data from nachc and mgma to set salary ranges for each position. Actual salaries are based on qualifications and determined by hr and the cfo. The board of directors has the power to establish and periodically update the salary and benefits scales and most recently approved the engagement with a consulting firm to conduct a wage range study for all of our employees which concluded at the end of 2021 and utilized data from nachc as well as mgma. These new salary ranges from this proposal set forth by the consulting firm are all to be reviewed and approved by the board of directors before being implemented in any capacity.”
