Non-Executive Directors’ remuneration and terms of engagement

Terms of service

All non-executive directors are provided with a letter of appointment setting out their remuneration. Directors are appointed by the Minister of Gender, Labour, and Social Development for a three-year term, renewable once.


Fees

Non-executive Directors receive a retainer for their service on the Board and a meeting attendance fee for Board and Board Committee meetings. Fees are paid monthly in arrears. There are no contractual arrangements for compensation for loss of office. Executive Director(s) do not receive any retainer or meeting attendance fee.

In determining the remuneration of Non-Executive Directors, the Board considers the extent and nature of their responsibilities, and comparative remuneration offered by other major entities of a similar nature.
