At least the employment agency is now saying the size of TAB is that they take $2 billion in bets rather than sales or revenue of $2 billion. Even so $2 billion is a fraction of the bets a casino takes when you consider every play at the blackjack table is a bet.

So how much is the CEO going to be paid?  And who decides?   No point being wise after the appointment. Given the economic situation something like $200.000 PA appropriate.

From there all the other salaries can be scaled back. If the current board don't think its high enough there is nothing stopping bonuses being paid for actual performance.

Time you changed your meds if you really think above.

Will be approx 500-600K given number of employees and presumably the successful candidate will be selected by Board reps and an independent

Exactly this should be a base salary with provision for bonuses upon certain KPI's being attained , Others from a business back ground would suggest not . Stops another shiny arse from coming in and just counting his wedge . If they are passionate and have any real ability then they will comfortably achieve the top end of any contract .

Why have TAB NZ appointed an International Recruitment Agency to select someone for this position? Surely an organisation of this size would have a competent personnel department to do this job and save a six figure fee? So much for cost cutting.

TAB size is 400 employees and $450M revenue.  The Salvation Army has 3000 employees although some spread around the Pacific Islands. Nevertheless its high time people realized that the TAB is on;y a medium sized company in NZ and would rank small to medium in USA.

Could we inquire how much Salvation Army CEO is paid and divide it by an eighth.
