“The ceo/ed and the board have responsibility to ensure that salaries are fair and reasonable. Using appropriate market comparisons (local, regional, or national) for comparable positions in comparable organizations, seva will target salaries in the range from the 50th to the 75th percentile depending on performance and experience. All salaries must be approved by the ceo/ed or the cfo. In specific cases, the ceo/ed or cfo may approve salaries beyond the 75th percentile. Reasons may include specific advanced credentials, key position for strategic or growth reasoning, or inability to recruit at reported market level. The salary of the ceo/ed and cfo is set by the board of directors using the same principles. Each employee's salary is determined at the time of hire. Adjustments are made at the discretion of the employee's supervisor in collaboration with the executive director/cfo.”
