Annual Review
Base salary review is based on the “responsibilities” used when hiring current coach. We view these activities as the minimum expectations for our staff. A good job here is reflected in a salary increase. An annual bonus will be considered with the potential for the staff member to earn an additional 0-10% of his base salary. The Board of Directors determines bonus point criteria for each year and those criteria for the next year are shown to the head coach during annual review.
