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 · Form 990 of other organizations
  • 3 · Written employment contract
  • 3 · Compensation survey or study

  • 5a · Pay contingent on this organization's revenues
  • 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
  • 7 · Other non-fixed payments
  • 8 · Paid under the initial-contract exception

The filer's explanations (Part III)

PART I, LINE 3
COMPENSATION FOR THE PRESIDENT & CEO AND CERTAIN OTHER KEY EMPLOYEES INCLUDES A REVIEW AND APPROVAL BY THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OF NYBG'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES. THE MEMBERS OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE ARE ALL INDEPENDENT VOTING MEMBERS OF THE ORGANIZATION'S GOVERNING BODY. THE PRESIDENT & CEO AND OTHER OFFICERS MAY BE PRESENT AT MEETINGS OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE EXCEPT WHERE THE COMPENSATION OF SUCH EMPLOYEES IS UNDER REVIEW. THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OBTAINS AND REVIEWS COMPARABILITY DATA WITH RESPECT TO COMPENSATION LEVELS PAID FOR COMPARABLE JOB POSITIONS OBTAINED THROUGH THE ASSISTANCE OF AN EXPERT COMPENSATION CONSULTANT WHEN APPROPRIATE, INCLUDING FORM 990 DATA FROM OTHER LEADING MUSEUMS AND CULTURAL AND EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS, AS WELL AS FOR PROFIT INSTITUTIONS WITH WHICH NYBG MAY COMPETE FOR STAFF. THE DELIBERATIONS, DECISIONS, AND BASIS OF DECISIONS MADE BY THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE ARE CONTEMPORANEOUSLY SUBSTANTIATED AND DOCUMENTED IN MINUTES OF APPLICABLE MEETINGS.
