Human resources directors at charities 'paid an average £75,000'

Those in human resources jobs on charity and voluntary boards get paid almost ten per cent more than other directors, according to new research.

Human resources and personnel directors took home an average annual salary of £75,000, almost £7,000 more than the average pay for directors of all kind in the sector.

More than 175 organisations and nearly 30,000 employees were interviewed for the 2009 Annual Voluntary Sector Salary Survey conducted by salary analyst CELRE, reports Personnel Today.

The study also revealed that the average pay of chief executives at organisations whose turnover was more than £50 million each year was close to £100,000 a year.

Those chief executives also received annual bonus payments equivalent to 9.5 per cent of their annual salary.

Last week, another CELRE survey revealed that almost one-quarter of employees face a pay freeze this year, a large rise on the six per cent of companies that carried out pay freezes
