Rad policies, processes & structures…
This policy aims to make working at Tripod a viable & sustainable choice for a wider range of workers than would otherwise be possible. It is part of an ongoing inquiry & development process to define how we want to financially support ourselves to do this work in a way that values the work we do & is a reflection of Tripod’s values & purpose.
A needs-based/equitable pay policy for a small organisation that focuses on: dependents, disability, time worked and the need for some unforeseen uplifts, as well as inheritance/unearned wealth.
A socially-just pay policy, including adjustments for: time worked; dependents; no recourse to public funds; experience of marginalisation; city living; and disability. It also includes adjustments for freelance pay; a process for implementation; an emergency pay system; and an emergency fund for workers.
This policy outlines our wish to be an equitable employer by addressing how we can support team members to bring their whole selves in and calculating wages in a caring way.
A policy supporting us to make decisions of what grants and donations to accept and which to return or not accept.
A maternity policy that is inclusive and caring towards the people involved in starting or wishing to start a family.
This policy aims to clarify what types of bespoke work we will do (workshops or consultancy); how it will be decided (based on capacity and equity questions); and what we will charge for the work (sliding scales based on org income).
A wage system based on Platform's policy, with important additions to pay adjustments for dependents (including children) and housing.
A policy challenging the ways in which discrimination against parents and carers is still the norm in most workplaces. Includes: maternity leave and pay; paternity / second parent leave & pay; shared parental leave & pay; and adoption leave & pay.
A policy that defines a financially-healthy organisation and outlines actions to undertake if that status isn't met at different points in time. It also includes a simple plan to increase financial reserves.
