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

  • 7 · Other non-fixed payments

Answered no

  • 4a · Severance or change-of-control payment
  • 4b · Supplemental nonqualified retirement plan
  • 4c · Equity-based compensation arrangement

  • 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

The filer's explanations (Part III)

Part I, Line 3
The Executive Committee of American Society of Safety Professionals, a related organization, engaged an independent consultant to review salary surveys for the CEO position. With this data, the Executive Committee approved compensation for the position.
Part I, Line 7
Subject to meeting staff KPI and performance expectations of the Board, the CEO is eligible for a discretionary annual bonus as determined by the Board. All other ASSP staff are eligible for discretionary bonuses based on approval by ASSP's Board of Directors. The Board approves an overall staff bonus pool, which is then distributed to ASSP staff based on annual performance reviews.
