SRG: President earns the same as last year
Last year, the planned fee increases for the SRG Board of Directors caused outrage. It is now clear that the Chairman will receive 135,000 francs, the same as last year. The members of the Board of Directors will receive a total fee of around CHF 38,000.
Last year, the planned fee increases for SRG board members caused outrage. The SRG's Assembly of Delegates has now definitively set the flat-rate fees, following the Federal Council's decision in December. The new fees are as follows: the fee for the Chairman is set at CHF 135,000; this corresponds to the fee for 2007 and also the recommendation of the Federal Council. Last year, it was planned that the Chairman's salary would rise to CHF 180,000 - but after some fuss, Chairman Jean-Bernard Münch decided against the increase (see
).
The flat fee for members of the Board of Directors will amount to CHF 32,000 in future. The fee supplement for the Vice Chairman will remain at CHF 1,500. The additional lump-sum fee for committee chairmen is CHF 3,000. The attendance fee of CHF 1,000 for members of the Board of Directors (excluding the Chairman of SRG) will be retained for committee meetings. There will be no attendance fee for ordinary Board meetings.
Taking into account the committee meetings that are usually expected in a year, the regulation would result in an average total fee of CHF 38,000 for a member of the Board of Directors, SRG announced. This amount is below the Federal Council's recommendation of CHF 40,000 for a member of the Board of Directors without special functions.
