These periodic reviews shall, at a minimum, address whether transactions and arrangements into which the home enters are reasonable and the result of arms length bargaining, conform to written policies, are properly recorded, reflect reasonable payments for goods and services, further the home's charitable purposes and do not result in a conflict of interest.”

“Executive directore and administrator starting salary is determined by the board of trustees. An annual cost of living increase is provided if board approved.

After a particular amount of time, the employee will move up the pay scale. Cost of living increases are also provided to hourly employees if approved by the board.”
