Nonprofit Compensation & Benefits Report Released by Rollins Philanthropy & Nonprofit Leadership Center

Employment
Compared to 2007, the proportion of full-time and part-time employees is relatively unchanged. Sixty-four percent of employees worked full-time in 2007 compared to 66 percent of employees who work full-time in 2009. Turnover among these employees has dropped from an average of 24 percent for full-time employees and 36 percent for part-time employees in 2008 to 18 percent for full-time employees and 27 percent for part-time employees in 2009. These lower turnover rates may be related to the troubled economic environment at the time of data collection.

Methodology
Data was compiled on more than 8,300 individual salaries and categorized into 121 job titles. In 2009, 145 nonprofit organizations participated in the study compared to 153 in 2007. Although the number of participating organizations was slightly smaller compared to the 2007 survey, the addition of relatively large nonprofits to the survey sample in 2009 provides a larger overall data sample.
