Each time a new employee is hired in a non profit organization, a compensation package is developed that includes information regarding the base salary, insurance, retirement plans, supplemental benefits, education reimbursement, perks, and employment policies. While the development of a comprehensive non profit compensation package and policy manual is standard for management and executive positions, it is often overlooked for lower level positions. In these circumstances, developing an inclusive employee policies and procedures manual is an effective and practical way to cover these topics.
Non Profit Compensation: Items to Address
An employee policies and procedures manual can be used to address vital topics such as attendance and punctuality policies, overtime, sick leave, vacation, termination, assessment policies, severance, and other standard miscellaneous benefits such as car allowance, parking, housing allowance, etc. Other important items include:
- Equal employment opportunity policy
- Harassment policy
- Employment at-will policy
- Family and medical leave policy
- Standards of conduct policy
It is important to consider what generic items should be addressed in a manual and what items should be addressed on an individual basis such as sabbatical leave, expense accounts, and employment contract. Regardless of where or how information is provided, it is important to address these vital policies in some manner.
