The committee reviews the form with the vice president of finance and when the committee is in agreement with management on the information in the return it approves the final copy for management to sign. A complete copy of the final return is distributed to all board members and the audit committee reports its approval to the full board at the next scheduled meeting of the board.”

“Pai determines compensation for all employees by following the guidelines set forth in the pai salary administration policy. The pai executive committee and budget & finance committee periodically review and approve this policy. Each staff position is analyzed and defined in a job description developed through a cooperative effort of the department vice president or director, the chief operating officer and the incumbent (when appropriate), and approved by the president/ceo. To achieve internal and external equity a salary comparison is completed in even numbered years for each position. The outcome of the salary comparison is the establishment of a salary range for each position. These ranges are developed by the vp of finance & administration and approved by the president/ceo by utilizing up to three current salary studies such as, prm consulting, inc. - management compensation report for not-for-profit organizations; inside ngo - headquarters salary, benefits, and human resource administrative policies survey compensation report; and total compensation solutions - not-for-profit compensation survey. Development of the salary comparison results in a salary range involving a minimum, midpoint and maximum as defined below: - minimum - the lowest rate paid to an individual who is hired for or promoted to a job/position that has been classified in the grade level. The minimum is 15% below the mid-point. - midpoint - competitive rate for the particular grade level which represents the worth of the job/position to pai - that is, the amount of compensation considered to be fair and equitable for an employee who is fully qualified in terms of training and experience. The mid-point of each salary range is the weighted average of survey composites (staff size, budget size, organization type, scope, etc.) at the median (50th percentile) base salary of each job/position. - maximum - highest rate which may be paid to an incumbent in the grade level. The maximum is 45% greater than the minimum. The pai board of directors plans to conduct a 360 degree performance appraisal and salary review of the president/ceo every two years. The salary range is determined by the process described in the salary administration policy and guidelines above. The board of directors last reviewed the salary of the president & ceo in december 2014.”
