As a non-profit employer that relies on funding from many different sources, the Canadian Red Cross has to be very careful about its compensation for staff. As you likely noticed when you applied, salary ranges for positions are very transparent and their practice is to compensate based on experience. This question is simply asked to ensure that you are on board with this compensation approach if you are eventually offered the job. Make sure you approach your answer from a standpoint where you agree with an experience-based compensation structure, even if you are coming from a background that is based on performance bonuses, commissions, or anything of the like.

"Throughout my career working in the public sector, compensation has always been experience-based and transparent and I really respect that about the Canadian Red Cross. It rewards individuals that bring experience to a position and allows for new graduates or those young in their career to work their way up a pay scale with experience."
