Form 990, Part VI, Line 15a: Compensation Review & Approval Process - CEO, Top Management The organization uses salary surveys to determine compensation. In 2008 the organization adopted a new salary scale that was based on researching compensation for comparable positions in nonprofits in the San Francisco Bay Area. The board had extensive discussions and then approved the final document. Salary surveys are conducted internally by acquiring data from organizations directly and from wider, independent surveys of comparable organizations. In 2020, the organization contracted with a salary and benefits consultant to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of pay. The goal of the compensation study was to give employees a living wage based on cost of living in the Oakland area of California. The compensation for each employee is based on the 50th percentile of the study data, with adjustments for job duties. The result of this is that everyone is making a living wage or more.
