Written by recognized not-for-profit human resource specialist JoAnn Senger, Designing a Not-For-Profit Compensation System provides a step-by-step method to help human resource professionals design and manage a successful compensation system for any public or not-for-profit organization.

When it comes to compensation systems, the not-for-profit sector is rife with complexities, including legislative approval requirements and the board of directors' direct involvement in compensation matters. Addressing these and other unique obstacles, Designing a Not-For-Profit Compensation System:

  • Defines various types of not-for-profit and public organizations
  • Identifies current types of compensation structures
  • Identifies organizational characteristics influencing the usefulness of each structure, including the organization's budgeting and accounting processes and timetables
  • Covers maintenance for all compensation structures and the interaction among organizational units
  • Details the usefulness of each compensation structure, including midpoint calculations, rate adjustments, variable pay, and market surveys
