“To review and formulate all salaries and changes in salaries, rainbow services uses a salary survey provided annually by the center for non- profit management. The survey is updated annually by the center for non- profit management, and made available for purchase in the spring every year. Rainbow management reviews salary ranges and individual salaries each year during our budgeting process using the latest published survey as a benchmark. The executive director's salary is reviewed by the executive committee of the board of dircetors every january, while preparing for the executive director's annual date of hire anniversary review in february. The most recent salary survey is used as a benchmark within this review process, along with performance and other goals that had been set by the board. The executive committee makes recommendations to the full board of directors once the review is accomplished, and the full board votes on any changes recommended.”
