Charity Careers Ireland is delighted to share the 2017 Survey on Pay & Conditions of Employment in Community, Voluntary and Charitable Organisations. We believe this is a really important initiative to give the sector a greater understanding on salaries and benefits across the sector and we would encourage as many organisations as possible to participate.
Many thanks,
The Team at Charity Careers Ireland
Pay and Benefits Survey 2017
The Community Foundation for Ireland, The Wheel and Dóchas invite you to participate in 2017 Survey on Pay and Conditions of Employment in Community, Voluntary and Charitable Organsiations. The purpose of the survey is to develop a comprehensive overview of pay and benefits in the non-profit sector. Your participation is very important; the resulting report will help boards, policy makers, managers and staff to understand current trends and practices in relation to pay and conditions of employment in the sector. It will provide a helpful benchmark for non-profits assessing their own pay structures.
Given many challenges currently facing our sector, such as restricted funding and the negative publicity generated by high-profile financial mismanagement cases, this survey will provide a welcome increase our transparency in relation to pay and benefits. This survey was previously conducted in 2008 and 2015. A copy of the 2015 survey report can be viewed at http://www.foundation.ie/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/National-Guide-to-Pay-and-Benefits-in-CVCh-Orgs-2015.pdf.
