Anne, Alex, Željko,
Very good, Anne. Adding in the Part V, 1a numbers as additional employees,
we arrive at the table below.[1] Do you agree this is accurate? It means
the average salary cost per employee increased
– by 35% from 2013 to 2016, from *$86,493* in 2013 to *$116,726* in 2016,
– by 28% from 2016 to 2019, from *$116,726* in 2016 to *$149,155* in 2019.
(It's noteworthy that salaries rose comparatively little during Lila
Tretikov's short tenure, summer 2014 – spring 2016.)
We are now in 2022. Assuming salaries have continued to rise at a similar
rate since 2019 (the 22% year-on-year increase in the salary and wages
total reported for 2020 does make that seem likely), salary costs will
average around *$190,000* ($149,155 + 28%) per employee this year.
I'm assuming a current headcount of about 600 staff/contractors (incl.
non-employee contractors) for the WMF, based on a recent post here from a
staffer. Wikimedia Germany alone has over 100 employees of its own, and all
the other affiliates together will probably bring the total to about 800.
More precise figures and any other corrections welcome.
Andreas
