Not sure that I'd faint over this (taken from the public disclosure page of the Canadian Sally Ann) -
Executive compensation
The compensation package for all commissioned officers of The Salvation Army includes housing accommodation, with furnishings and utilities provided by the Army, a leased vehicle or vehicle allowance, and a cash allowance based on years of service. The cost of compensation provided to senior officers is comparatively lower than that paid to executives in other similar organizations. The employment income for tax purposes reported in 2010 for the five most senior commissioned officers of The Salvation Army in Canada, ranged from $31,080 to $39,143, with an average of $34,185.
The size and scope of the Army’s operations creates a level of complexity that requires the Army to hire highly skilled professional and technical staff to supplement the skill set found in its commissioned officer ranks. While these salaries are typically less than comparable positions in the for-profit sector, there is increased competition for professional staff, and as a result, compensation for executives in the sector has increased in recent years.
In 2010, there were 39 non-officer staff in professional and technical roles in The Salvation Army whose total employment income for tax purposes was above $100,000. Their income for tax purposes ranged from $100,049 to $239,081 with an average of $131,625.
There is a tension between paying competitive salaries to attract the right people on the one hand, and ensuring that executive compensation does not reach unreasonable levels on the other. This tension is particularly acute in the not-for-profit sector where organizations and donors are both concerned about keeping administrative costs low so as to maximize funds available for direct service delivery. We believe that The Salvation Army is managing this tension well.
