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, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — 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 · Independent compensation consultant
- 3 · Written employment contract
- 3 · Compensation survey or study
- 3 · Approval by the board or compensation committee
Answered no
- 4a · Severance or change-of-control payment
- 4b · Supplemental nonqualified retirement plan
- 4c · Equity-based compensation arrangement
The filer's explanations (Part III)
- Schedule J, Part I, Line 3
- The Board obtains salary information from various sources, including the Oregon Rural Electric Cooperative Association's and the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association's surveys in determining the appropriate level of compensation for the General Manager position. On an annual basis, Human Resources prepares an analysis of management, professional, and trade positions that includes a comparison of wages and benefits for similar positions at other entities. This analysis gathers data from the local area utility market and the national rural electric cooperative's wage survey which covers comparable positions nationally, regionally, and by state. The Board sets the General Manager's salary and approves the salary budget for other positions. The wages of each individual employee below the GM are ultimately determined by the General Manager within this salary budget and based on individual performance.
- Schedule J, Part II
- The Cooperative participates in the National Rural Electric Cooperative's group defined benefit plan. As part of the plan, we are required to recognize the actuarial increase in the value of their retirement plan for purposes of this schedule. Employee age and years of service have an impact on their actuarial value. Additionally, the taxable value of employee life insurance is considered in this total.
