Strategic Planning for Employee Compensation Study

At 10:10 we began the discussion of the comprehensive compensation package for all employees.  This discussion is to give direction to the Finance Task Force to develop a matrix to be approved by December 15 for the 2020 school year and beyond.  
We began with the question, “what does fair compensation look like?”
As we discussed before, we agreed salary increases are dependent upon 3 criteria:
  1. the financial health of Elevate
  2. the ongoing success of each employee
  3. the on-going positive academic success of the school 
We also agreed to discuss total compensation including salary, health and welfare benefits and appropriate retirement plans.
Adam will send out the notes from our discussion.
TK will set up a date for the Finance Committee to meet in August and for the rest of the year.  He will work with Matt to develop a spreadsheet with the criteria and numbers we discussed.
