We already had our candidate. It helped us get the best candidate because that was something over the norm that we had.” More than three-quarters of respondents said they do not offer executives post-retirement benefits other than mandated medical coverage, such as COBRA, while only 14 percent do. When it comes to executives in general, about a quarter of nonprofits surveyed said they base salary increase policies on merit increases, while almost 30 percent base them on general increases. More than 45 percent base them on both general and merit. Two-thirds of respondents said that on average, during the past three years, hourly and salaried nonexempt staff been receiving about the same increases as exempt salaries staff. Roughly 10 percent said non-exempt pay was increasing faster while another 10 percent said exempt pay was increasing faster. Only about 14 percent responded they did not know. Of the 268 nonprofits combined that replied one was increasing faster than the other, the average increase was 6.43 percent (based on only 45 responses), with a low of 0.05 percent to a high of 26 percent. Several noted the increase in the federal hourly minimum wage resulted in a spike in wage hikes. HEALTH INSURANCE Most nonprofits (66 percent) expect health insurance premiums to increase during 2008, by an average of 12 percent.The low among respondents was a 2-percent drop and the high was a 100-percent jump.While 14 percent of respondents do not know if their premiums will increase, 11 percent said they would not increase in 2008.Almost 9 percent said they have no health insurance benefits. Of the nearly 900 organizations that responded their premiums will rise, most expect to share the increased cost with the employees, while others will shop for lower premiums or make changes in benefits levels. In some cases, the organization will pay the entire cost of the increase while in others the employee will cover the increase.The average share for an employee was 23 percent of the increased premiums, among 390 respondents, while the organization’s share of the hike averaged 60 percent, among 630 groups.
