In making that determination, the board may consider the following factors, among others: compensation levels paid by similarly situated organizations for functionally comparable positions, the availability of similar services in the geographic area, independent compensation surveys compiled by independent firms, actual written offers from similar institutions competing for the person's services. These determinations are made at the time of hire, when compensation is modified, or at termination, and are documented contemporaneously.”
