Problem statement
We want to be able as a small organisation to easily hire and put fixed price consultancy work in the market at competitive wages.
Atm we have a restrictive system to calculate wages that does not allow us to do this: https://contribute.mautic.org/policies/paying-contributors
About the ethical implications. If we want quality we will have to pay a good wage for the geographical area. The market will determine the price and if we do it correctly the result will be long term.
The goal is not to get cheap labor but to get an advantage to hire good people at the best price.
Detailed proposal
We want to switch to a pragmatic approach until we are a bigger organisation. We want to be able to benefit from market forces to get the best person for the best value.
Process:
- We put job description in the market
- We create a short list of people who are qualified
- We look at the geographical area, skills, position and determine the correct wage
Benefits / impact
Being able to hire at competitive rates and get more done for our budgets.
Potential challenges
If we grow bigger we need an HR wage matrix to make sure there is more structure. We don't want it now because it is a big investment.
Resources needed
Nothing, just a decision.
Suggested timeline

#MauticCouncilEstimated cost
Effective immediately. Documentation will be updated over the coming weeks.
There is no impact currently as this impacts future appointments.
This proposal has been accepted because:
Mautic will now use the average rate for roles, based on the location of the person for tax purposes. Tools such as Payscale will be used to determine the salary rate and this will be shared in the job advertisement so that people can verify what the rate of pay will be. This will be reviewed by the Council on an annual basis.
