OUt-0f-pket expenses paid to trU5tee5 are Shown as part of the Flnancial Ststements In note 2. Pay scales have been developed by the Senior Leadership Team and set out the salary bands for all staff from Junior administrator to execirtive manager. Each role and corresponding salary band has been bench marked against similar roles across the VCSE sertor both locally and nationally and reflerts the level of responsibility and experience expected. Any salary increases proposed reflect the need to retain key staff. Increases are recommended by the Charity Director/Deputy Director and are ultimately determined by the board of trustee5. The board of trustees deterrnines the salary package for the Charity Director and Deputy Director. We continually review staff beneffts and in 2022 increased the employer contributlon to the company pension scheme to 8%, as a temporary measure in response to the cost of living challenges. This benefit is revlewed at the end of each financlal year to determine its continued afftirdability. START also offer an employee assistan programme (EAP) run via Penlnsula, which is an additional Health and Wellbelng package for all employees. Risk fflanagement We continue to face a challenging financial environment where there is increasing difPiculty in brldging the gap between rising demand for our serViS and our ability to athieve full cost recovery, which Is vital to the health and sustainabifity of the charity. The Senior Management Team have developed a network of contacts. including commissioners and principals at a number of external organisations. so that we can contlnue to work In partnershlp in the delivery of services across Salford. A risk management process has been put in place. A Risk Register is maintained detaillng the major financial and other risks we face a5 3 charity and the systems and processes in place to mitigate these risk5. Identified risks are graded against their likelihood and impact. New risks identified are discussed monthly by the Senior Management Team who, where required, implement procedures designed to minimise or manage any potential impact on the charity should those risks materialise. At the date of this report there were 18 Identified rlsks recorded on the Risk Register. Management of risk is a standing agenda item at board meetings and the Risk Register is reviewed by the trustees on a quarterly basis. The addition of any newly ident5fied risks are proposed by the Senior Management Team and agreed by the trustees where considered appropriate. The trustees are satisfied that systems are in place to mltigate thelr exposure to major risk.
