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.

The filer's explanations (Part III)

SCHEDULE J, PART I, LINE 7
DESCRIPTION OF NON-FIXED PAYMENTS: THERE ARE TWO KEY COMPONENTS OF THE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY OF JA WORLDWIDE: 1. REWARD FOR PERFORMANCE 2. PROVIDE REASONABLE AND COMPETITIVE PAY PACKAGES WITH THOSE OFFERED TO LEADERS OF ORGANIZATIONS COMPARABLE TO JA WORLDWIDE IN TERMS OF SIZE, COMPLEXITY AND MISSION IMPACT. AS PART OF THE REWARD FOR PERFORMANCE THE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION SUBCOMMITTEE (THE COMMITTEE) OF THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS HAS ADOPTED THE MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN (MIC). MIC IS INTENDED TO STIMULATE AND REWARD RESULTS AND ACHIEVEMENT NECESSARY TO ACCOMPLISH THE MULTIPLE OBJECTIVES OF JA WORLDWIDE'S STRATEGIC PLAN. THE MIC PLAN IS DESIGNED TO: A) MOTIVATE GROWTH IN TOTAL REVENUE AND PROGRAM IMPACT TO ENHANCE SERVICES TO THE COMMUNITY. B) LINK ACCOMPLISHMENT OF THE ORGANIZATION'S MISSION AND OBJECTIVES WITH THE COMPENSATION OF THE ORGANIZATION'S MANAGERS. C) CONTROL COSTS BY PROVIDING VARIABLE COMPENSATION BASED ON PERFORMANCE TO ENHANCE AFFORDABILITY AND OFFERING A COMPETITIVE INCENTIVE AND TOTAL CASH COMPENSATION PROGRAM. D) ENHANCE THE FOCUS, MOTIVATION AND RETENTION OF KEY ORGANIZATIONAL MANAGERS. THERE IS A CAP ON THE AMOUNT OF INCENTIVE THAT ANY EXECUTIVE CAN EARN FROM THE MIC. THE COMMITTEE USES DISCRETION IN DETERMINING THE LEVEL OR ACHIEVEMENT OF CERTAIN PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENTS. THE COMMITTEE ALSO ANNUALLY EXAMINES THE COMPARABLE MARKET DATA FOR THESE POSITIONS, FOLLOWING THE THREE-STEP GOVERNANCE PROCESS DESCRIBED IN THE REGULATIONS TO SECTION 4958 ON INTERMEDIATE SANCTIONS TO ESTABLISH THE PRESUMPTION OF REASONABLE COMPENSATION, INCLUDING ENGAGING AN INDEPENDENT COMPENSATION CONSULTANT. THE GOVERNORS MAY, IN THEIR SOLE DISCRETION, AND AT ANY TIME, ELECT TO AMEND, SUSPEND, OR TERMINATE THE PLAN.
