All members of the kendal at ithaca board of trustees and staff are covered by this policy.

“The executive director's compensation has been determined by the board in consultation with the president and the director of human resources of the kendal corporation. From time to time the kendal corporation provides to the board chair an updated comparative and independent survey on compensation for executive directors. The board chair then reviews this information with the executive committee and/or the board. Kendal at ithaca's human resource director, cfo, and executive director determine compensation for all other employees based on independent data such as surveys, taking into account those employees' positions and responsibilities relative to other positions at kendal and in the marketplace. These methods are used to ensure that all compensation decisions are in line with fair market range for compensation for similar positions in the industry. Compensation increases for the executive director and all other staff are reviewed and approved as part of the annual budget process. The kendal at ithaca board of trustees has final approval of the budget and associated compensation increases. The budget process was last undertaken in october 2021.”
