SALARY RANGES & BENEFITS ARE REVIEWED BY INDEPENDENT CONSULTANTS WHO ISSUE AN OPINION ON THE FAIRNESS OF THE COMPENSATION PROGRAM. AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR, IN CONSULTATION WITH THEIR STAFF LEADER, EACH EMPLOYEE ESTABLISHES SPECIFIC CRITERIA AND MEASUREMENTS UPON WHICH THEIR PERFORMANCE WILL BE EVALUATED THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. EMPLOYEES ARE REVIEWED PERIODICALLY THROUGHOUT THE YEAR TO ASSESS THEIR PERFORMANCE. AT YEAR END A FINAL EVALUATION IS CONDUCTED. IN ADDITION TO THE MEASURABLE CRITERIA, EMPLOYEE MODE (HOW THEY DO THEIR JOB) MAY AFFECT THE FINAL REVIEW. SALARY INCREASES ARE BASED ON EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE RATING. THERE ARE NO ANNUAL COST OF LIVING SALARY ADJUSTMENTS. SALARY INCREASES FOR COUNCIL STAFF ARE DETERMINED BY THE SCOUT EXECUTIVE USING THE ABOVE METHOD AND ARE SUBJECT TO BUDGET CONSTRAINTS. THERE IS A VOLUNTEER COMPENSATION & BENEFITS COMMITTEE APPOINTED BY THE COUNCIL PRESIDENT THAT INCLUDES THE PRESIDENT AND OTHER MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.
