“Pennfuture must attract and retain the most qualified staff if it is going to fulfill its mission and understands that employees could earn more in the for-profit sector. Employees work for pennfuture as a result of their commitment to environmental protection and recognize that pennfuture, as a non-profit corporation, cannot pay staff what otherwise might be considered their fair market value. Pennfuture also recognizes that its staff has skills that can provide valuable technical assistance to other organizations in support of their mission and the mission of pennfuture, as well as provide an opportunity for pennfuture to receive revenue that supports its activities. For the chief executive and officers of the board, pennfuture reviews and compares the pay levels of other similarly situated non-profits (as adjusted for employment markets), as well as the experience and education of potential candidates. The board produces a performance review of the president/ceo. The determined pay levels for the chief executive staff is then approved by the board. Pennfuture contracts with an outside consultant, payscale, to review job descriptions and associated compensation. The information is benchmarked against the market place. This work has been ongoing since january 2016. The compensation program is based on market data and performance against individual goals and objectives established.”
