Most likely you will start your Chimorel career as a volunteer. This gives each of us an opportunity to get to know each other before any real commitments need to be made. Volunteers with Chimorel receive special perks. As you will discover in other parts of this website, we work with anyone who is willing to work, who earns their way and who genuinely supports our clients. You start as a volunteer, become an Independent Contractor, prove yourself and may be invited to become an employee.
An important part of your initial efforts with Chimorel is to learn about Chimorel and to tell others about what you learn. You can reality test your willingness by clicking the Reality Test. Once you become a fully paid Resource Developer, you might generate several hundred dollars every month by simply sending people to the Buy Stuff area of our website.
Did you take the time to test reality? For one or two merchants? For more than two? Will you tell others about what you learned? There will be many things to learn for each position with Chimorel. If you are willing to learn, tell others about what you learn and maintain a strong sense of integrity with your new clients, you can work with Chimorel.
Every successful organization is dependent on the productivity of the people who work for it. Productivity is concerned with quantity, quality and cost. As an Independent Contractor you are essentially paid on the basis of your productivity. This has benefits in terms of your income and as you prepare for April 15th each year. As an Independent Contractor, you can deduct costs like a computer, software, health insurance, office space, and many other things. And as an Independent Contractor you create your own raises.
When you demonstrate your ability as a Resource Developer, you can become a Manager, Planner or Coordinator. These titles do not reveal the full scope of the responsibilities available with these positions. Return to Chimorel Positions above to explore the opportunities more fully. It is important to note that each position will involve between 10% and 50+% marketing and/or fundraising responsibilities and some will require a much higher commitment to marketing and fund raising. You might begin with Start as a Volunteer.
Once you are invited to be an employee, you enter a unique compensation plan. You may need to think about all of the elements of this plan before it becomes really appealing. There are essentially five elements: (1) base, (2) a standard, (3) bonuses, (4) a cap and (5) benefits.
Base: The base, approximately equal to minimum wage, at this point will range from $10 to $15/hr. Every employee earns this base. There are no benefits attached to the base.
Standard: There are a number of components to standard pay: (a) approximately 10% below whatever is standard in the industry, (b) ability to buy at 20-60% below normal retail, (c) specific benefits, (d) a reduction factor during times of economic distress and (e) a production level equal to or better than standard in the industry.
Bonuses: based on a production level greater than standard in the industry. May consist of cash and benefits.
Cap: At this point everyone’s salary (cash) is capped at $100,000. Periodically this cap can be increased. Our expectation is that everyone who works with Chimorel will earn at least $50,000/yr. If you don’t rise to this level within a reasonable time frame you should reevaluate.
Benefits: Cafeteria style benefits are unlimited and based on achievement. Cafeteria Style means that you choose what benefits are most important to you and earn what you actually implement.
ESOP: We plan to create an Employee Stock Ownership Plan.
After you read about the compensation plan, think about it. Then ask questions. Parts of the plan will be continually improved. Your questions and suggestions should be part of these improvements. If you like what you are reading, continue your training. As you continue your training, you will begin to explore many sections of our website, learn how to upgrade people to higher levels and make a real difference in the lives of many people.
The Plan in Bullet Points
Below we list bullet points regarding the Compensation Plan. These bullet points are intended to give you a brief glimpse into the plan. We periodically offer a seminar which does a role play between management and a “tough” union to illustrate this plan. Invariably, once they understand it, the audience loves this plan.
- During good times, productive people will earn far more than is standard in their industry combined with an Employee Stock Ownership Plan.
- If we pay 10% less than standard and focus on productivity, we will always be competitive.
- If you can buy 20-60% better than normal retail, your purchasing power can more than make up for the lower standard pay and will enhance your productive bonus earnings.
- Our focus on productivity enhances your potential earnings, keeps us competitive and gives you many opportunities. Productivity can come from cost savings, new ideas, diversified work experiences and anything you do that adds genuine measurable economic value.
- During hard times, we use a reduction factor to reduce costs proportionately, thus enabling retention of as many valued employees as possible. The reduction factor can be partially offset by enhanced purchasing power and productivity bonuses. The reduction factor always starts with the highest paid employees.
- The salary cap eliminates unearned bonuses, golden parachutes and other compensation based on position or other factors unrelated to productivity. It also tends to create opportunities for additional employees.
- Benefits are partially based on what is standard in the industry, but are also earned by productivity and thus are essentially unlimited. Many benefits are before taxes, giving you a significant savings. Other benefits are after taxes, but still create savings based on purchasing power. Benefits are limited only by your imagination and productivity.
- Although the salary cap keeps the ratio between the highest and lowest paid employees equitable, benefits based on productivity can enable you to put your kids through college, have the best health care, build the home of your dreams, take vacations and essentially earn anything you need or want.
- Through Chimorel Bucks and the discount purchasing opportunity, we anticipate that most employees will be able to approximately double the cash value of their income, thus $15,000 would be the equivalent of $30,000. $35,000 = $70,000. $50,000 = $100,000. $100,000 = $200,000, depending on the level of Chimorel Bucks you can generate and your willingness to participate actively in the discount system.
Areas of Responsibility
Your responsibilities will fall into five categories, types or areas: Administrative, Marketing, Program, Supervision and Professional. Let’s explore these types briefly. The % listed is the estimated % of the overall budget allocated to this category. Whenever possible we try to reduce the amount allocated to administrative, sales and marketing, supervision & professional and increase the amount allocated to Program with the intention of allocating 80+% to Program. Currently we allocate 90+% to program, but as we grow this may not be possible.
Administrative 7%: These responsibilities involve all the paperwork, meeting, reporting, budgeting, etc tasks which must be done by all organizations. We allocate 7% of our overall budget to administration. Within each area we could allocate an additional amount toward administration if needed; however, every effort is made to keep Administrative tasks below 7%.
Sales & Marketing 25%: Programs, memberships, Special Projects, etc all have to be sold. Funds must be raised. Investments must be marketed. The % allocated to these activities will range from 3% to 25%. Because part of this allocation goes directly to the people selling the programs and raising the funds who are using the funds to solve a problem or achieve a goal, in many cases, this activity may be considered a Program activity. Part of the Sale & Marketing allocation might be used for supervision, training and administration.
Program, Planning & Assistance 51%: As much as possible we want to focus on Program activities. Where Sales and Marketing activities provide income, this may be considered an extension of the Program allocation. Where Supervision, Training and Professional activities are designed to support people as they achieve their goals it may be considered an extension of the Program area. The 51% allocated to Program is the minimum expected allocation, not the actual allocation. Enabling people and organizations to solve problems and achieve goals is the thrust of all our programs and we would like to allocate 80% or more of our budget for programs.
Supervision & Training 12%: As noted above, Supervision and Training may frequently be an extension of the Program area.
Technical, Professional, Other 5%: Because Professional activities may focus on supporting people as they solve problems and achieve goals these activities may frequently be considered an extension of the Program area. Technical and Other Activities are less likely to be an extension of the Program area; however, when intended to support others they may be considered an extension of Program Activities.
As an Independent Contractor you want to be aware of the allocation formula above as you structure your business. As a potential employee the allocation formula will be used by our Board as it determines Chimorel’s structure and organization.
Test Reallity
Here are two ways to test reality as you reflect on working with Chimorel. First explore our Fund Raising Alternatives. Any nonprofit can affiliate with Chimorel to use these alternatives to raise money for their nonprofit endeavors. Any individual or organization can use these alternatives to raise money for a Special Project by becoming an Action Planner or initiating a higher level program or membership. These alternatives include buying stuff you would buy anyway through our Shopping Mall, Raise Right, at Chimorel4U and through our Buy Stuff area. Click above or below to learn more.
The fund raising alternative reality check explores alternatives. Pick an alternative. Ask questions. Once you understand one fund raising alternative, you can use that alternative to create an income source.
The second test explores Buy Stuff where you will discover our Shopping Mall, Chimorel4U stores, Scrip, Auctions and Affiliate Opportunities. You might even buy something. Consider Albris where you can buy books at a significant discount. A small portion of your purchase will support Chimorel. At the Buy Stuff link you can learn about Chimorel Bucks and many other ways to support Chimorel, yourself and others.
The real test of reality lies within. What is it you want your life to be about? The door is open. When you walk through there will be real challenges and real opportunities. We will support you, but you must do the work.
