Where does Benefacts get the data on nonprofit sector employment?

Financial statements filed by all except micro nonprofit companies are required to disclose

• the average number of full-time equivalent employees in the year being reported
• the total cost of payroll
• the number of people whose total remuneration was in excess of €70,000, reported in bands of €10,000 – these are referred to as “higher paid”

Teachers and other school employees are not included because the accounts of schools are not publicly disclosed.

The employment data filed with the Charities Regulator in bands (e.g. “20-49”, “250+”, “1,000-4,999”) by charities that are not incorporated is not included in Benefacts analysis.
