This information is used to set a benchmark in determining appropriate compensation to offer. The compensation policy is used to set compensation when an officer or key employee is first hired, as well as any time their compensation package is subject to change. All compensation decisions are recorded in documentation held by the Human Resources department. The board approves salaries and benefits in total when it approves the annual budget at its September meeting.
