I can understand the Ten-Percent Foundation’s particular interest in our approach and your gifts in 2006 and 2007 were very much appreciated.<br /><br />We do indeed use an external evaluation scheme in order to ensure all its’ posts are objectively evaluated and in line with the appropriate market rates. We have chosen to use Croner Charity Rewards as it has supplied remuneration statistics and advice for over 40 years and is widely recognised as one of the leading providers of pay and benefits data into the UK. The survey it undertakes to benchmark posts coves the pay and benefits of job titles ranging from executive to unskilled. <br /><br />This enables us to rank all roles in the appropriate job function, not just senior positions and decide whether to pay in the upper, median or lower quartile of the advised pay range. Parkinson’s UK has taken the decision to pay in the lower to medium quartile, but will review how this fits with existing salaries within the organization... We are committed to attracting people with the best skills and experience to work with us to ensure we achieve the change our donors want us to for the people we serve, whilst being mindful of how far we need to make our funds stretch.<br /><br />We have a public statement on executive pay which can be found on our website: http://www.parkinsons.org.uk/content/executive-pay-parkinsons-uk and are always prepared to have the discussion about how we make the choices we do."Jonathan Faganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11711472001853618516noreply@blogger.com
