Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

Schedule J

Answered yes

  • 3 · Compensation committee
  • 3 · Independent compensation consultant
  • 3 · Form 990 of other organizations
  • 3 · Compensation survey or study
  • 3 · Approval by the board or compensation committee
  • 4a · Severance or change-of-control payment
  • 4b · Supplemental nonqualified retirement plan
  • 5a · Pay contingent on this organization's revenues
  • 7 · Other non-fixed payments

Answered no

  • 4c · Equity-based compensation arrangement
  • 5b · Pay contingent on a related organization's revenues
  • 6a · Pay contingent on this organization's net earnings
  • 6b · Pay contingent on a related organization's net earnings
  • 8 · Paid under the initial-contract exception

Schedule J, Part I, Line 7 Non-fixed payments
STAFF BONUSES ARE AWARDED ON MERIT. THE BONUS POOL IS ESTABLISHED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES. FROM THIS, TWO POOLS ARE CREATED, A BASE POOL (80%) AND A RESERVE POOL (20%). THE BASE POOL IS THEN DIVIDED BY DEPARTMENT TO DETERMINE A BASE BONUS POOL FOR EACH DEPARTMENT. THE DEPARTMENT HEAD THEN EVALUATES HIS/HER STAFF AND RECOMMENDS A BONUS FOR EACH PERSON. IF THE DEPARTMENT HEAD FEELS THAT HIS/HER STAFF MEMBER IS DESERVING OF A BONUS THAT EXCEEDS THE DEPARTMENTAL BONUS POOL, THEN A REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL BONUS FUNDS FROM THE RESERVE POOL ARE REQUESTED. THE PRESIDENT SUBMITS THE REQUEST FOR ALL MEMBERS OF THE SENIOR STAFF CONSISTING OF ALL VP/OFFICERS. THE BASE POOL IS ESTABLISHED ON THE SAME BASIS AS THE DEPARTMENTAL POOLS. THE DEPARTMENT HEAD SUBMITS ALL BONUS REQUEST TO THE PRESIDENT FOR APPROVAL. THE PRESIDENT HAS THE DISCRETION TO APPROVE, REJECT OR MODIFY ALL BONUSES.
