| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15 | ULTIMATELY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS DETERMINES THE CEO SALARY, UNDER THE DIRECTION OF THE PRESIDENT. IN THE PAST RID HAS USED A SALARY CONSULTANT WHO PROVIDES SALARY SURVEY RESULTS FOR THE ENTIRE STAFF, INCLUDING THE CEO, AS A BASIS FOR DETERMINING THE CEO'S COMPENSATION. ALSO, THE CEO WORKS UNDER A CONTRACT, WHICH IS SIGNED BY THE BOARD PRESIDENT. ACCORDING TO THE RID PERSONNEL POLICIES (PAGE 27), A TEMPORARY SALARY INCREASE MAY BE GRANTED TO THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER: THE PRESIDENT AND VICE PRESIDENT MEET WITH THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, AND DISCUSS A REASONABLE SALARY ADJUSTMENT. ULTIMATELY, THE PRESIDENT DETERMINES THE FINAL SALARY ADJUSTMENT AMOUNT FOR THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER IN AN INTERIM TIME PERIOD. RID HAS ADOPTED A PHILOSOPHY AND GOAL THAT BASIC SALARIES OF THE ORGANIZATION'S STAFF BE SET AT THE FIFTIETH PERCENTILE OF FIGURES WHICH REFLECT THE MEAN RATE OF MULTIPLE NATIONAL SURVEYS THAT ARE APPROPRIATELY AGED AND AVERAGE OF THE PAY OF INCUMBENTS IN ORGANIZATIONS OF THE SIZE, TYPE AND LOCATION SIMIAR TO RID, AND GIVES THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR THE AUTHORITY TO EXCEED THE MEDIAN RATE BY UP TO 10% TO ATTRACT AND RETAIN TALENT IN A HIGHLY COMPETITIVE PROFESSIONAL MARKET IN SITUATIONS WHERE THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF A PROFESSIONAL SALARY EXPERT INDICATE SUCH CHANGES ARE JUSTIFIED. RID DOES NOT GUARANTEE ITS STAFF MEMBERS RATES; IT IS MERELY A GENERAL CEILING FOR THOSE WHO ARE AT OPTIMAL LEVELS OF PERFORMANCE. |
