If a charity has staff members who are paid more than the president or CEO or the treasurer or CFO, does the compensation-review provision of the Act apply to them?
No. As stated above, however, the members of the board of directors have a continuing duty to pay compensation that does not exceed what is fair and reasonable to the charity. Moreover, if a staff member actually performs the duties and functions of a president or CEO or a treasurer or CFO, a charity may not avoid the compensation review required by the Act by giving that person a different job title.
