Upper Saddle River, N.J. – October 30, 2009 - Compensation Resources, Inc. (CRI) and Christian Leadership Alliance (CLA) have released their 2009 Compensation Survey Report for Christian Organizations. This is an annual study specifically designed to provide important compensation data for use by Christian-based organizations. Along with salary and bonus data on 70 jobs, the survey also captured benefit information including insurance coverage, paid time off, retirement plans, turnover, work – life, etc.
The data is separated into the following 8 industrial classifications covering Christian-based organizations:
P Association / Foundation
P Broadcast Media
P Camp / Conference Center
P Christian College / University
P Church / Ministry
P Missions Agency
P Parachurch
P Social Service / Rescue Mission
In addition, the survey data is reported for each position by revenue, employee size, organizational hierarchy, and region. Various statistical measures are reported, such as the average, median, and percentile data for each position.
A key finding is that there is a heavy reliance (more than 80.0% of participants) on the use of published surveys for establishing the market value for their jobs. Merit increases during 2009 to leadership positions averaged 2.4% with a significant drop to 1.5% projected for 2010. It is interesting to note that all respondents provide health insurance, with PPO (61.5%) being the plan of choice.
