Correctly account for cost to foundation of employees

Posted on November 3, 2025 by Alice I. Cecile

Incorrect cost to foundation

Proposal: Carter Anderson proposes:

Using our existing algorithm (defined in the Budget spreadsheet on our google drive), we should raise the "cost to the foundation" for Alice and Carter to:

  • @Alice 🌹 : $6719.50 (USD) / month
  • @cart: $6122.50 (USD) / month

Accounting for foundation-side taxes and fees on Thera, this means we should set their gross monthly pay to: @Alice 🌹: $6122.68 (USD) / $8,582.47 (CAD) @cart: $5654.89 (USD)

Let the record show that these are still well below the target salaries of these employees 🙂

Context: This is not intended as a raise: it is a correction to the accounting. The intent is that "total gross salary" is equal, regardless of the cost to the foundation with respect to various fees.

Votes: Yes from Rob Swain, François Mockers, and James Liu. Carter Anderson and Alice I. Cecile abstain due to a conflict of interest.
