Salary Survey 2010 - Nicva

PrefaceState of the Sector reports produced by NICVA over the last number of yearshas shown a decline in the workforce in the voluntary and community sectorof approximately 10%. A View Finder survey by NICVA in early 2010 notedthat the impact of the recession was leading to further reductions in staffnumbers accompanied by pay freezes and indeed pay reductions in someorganisations.I think that the next few years will see continued downward pressure onnumbers employed along with increased stress on the ability of organisationsto maintain decent standards and conditions of employment.Voluntary and community organisations employing staff have a duty to staffwho are almost always the organisation’s most important asset.I hope you find the information in this Salary Survey Report useful and that ithelps you understand pay issues in our sector which in turn helps you in yourown decision-making processes.Seamus McAleaveyChief ExecutiveNICVA: December 2010 5
