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

  • 4a · Severance or change-of-control payment
  • 4b · Supplemental nonqualified retirement plan

Answered no

  • 4c · Equity-based compensation arrangement
  • 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
DURING THE CALENDAR YEAR 2024, COMPENSATION FOR THE TOP MANAGEMENT OFFICIAL WAS ESTABLISHED AND PAID BY COMMONSPIRIT HEALTH, A RELATED ORGANIZATION. COMMONSPIRIT HEALTH USED ONE OR MORE OF THE METHODS DESCRIBED IN SCHEDULE J, PART I, LINE 3 TO ESTABLISH THE TOP MANAGEMENT OFFICIAL'S COMPENSATION: (1) INDEPENDENT COMPENSATION CONSULTANT; (2) COMPENSATION SURVEY OR STUDY. SEE SCHEDULE O DISCLOSURE FOR FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15 FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.
SCHEDULE J, PART 1, LINE 4A
CERTAIN REPORTABLE INDIVIDUALS ARE COVERED BY AN EXECUTIVE SEVERANCE POLICY THAT PROVIDES MARKET-STANDARD COMPENSATION, RANGING FROM PAYMENTS OF 9 MONTHS TO 2 YEARS OF BASE COMPENSATION, DEPENDING ON THE EXECUTIVE'S POSITION, IN THE EVENT OF A POSITION ELIMINATION OR OTHER INVOLUNTARY TERMINATION, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE GUIDELINES OF THE POLICY. CERTAIN REPORTABLE INDIVIDUALS ARE COVERED BY A NON-EXECUTIVE SEVERANCE POLICY THAT PROVIDES MARKET-STANDARD COMPENSATION, RANGING FROM PAYMENTS OF 2 WEEKS TO 52 WEEKS OF BASE COMPENSATION, DEPENDING ON THE EMPLOYEE'S POSITION AND TENURE, IN THE EVENT OF A POSITION ELIMINATION OR OTHER INVOLUNTARY TERMINATION, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE GUIDELINES OF THE POLICY. THE FOLLOWING REPORTABLE INDIVIDUALS RECEIVED SEVERANCE PAYMENTS DURING THE 2024 CALENDAR YEAR, AND THESE SEVERANCE PAYMENTS WERE INCLUDED IN THE INDIVIDUALS' W-2 INCOME AND REPORTABLE COMPENSATION ON PART VII AND SCHEDULE J, PART II, COLUMN (B)(III): SHARON HAGER, $444,221; LAWRENCE SCHUMACHER, $2,488,602.
SCHEDULE J, PART 1, LINE 4B
CERTAIN LISTED PERSONS PARTICIPATE IN THE COMMONSPIRIT HEALTH SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN (SERP), A NONQUALIFIED RETIREMENT PLAN DESIGNED TO PROVIDE DEFERRED COMPENSATION TO KEY EXECUTIVES WHO HAVE CONTRIBUTED MATERIALLY TO THE SUCCESS OF OUR MINISTRY. THE SERP IS INTENDED TO PROVIDE HIGHLY COMPENSATED INDIVIDUALS WITH ADDITIONAL RETIREMENT INCOME TO HELP OFFSET REGULATORY LIMITS IN PLACE ON QUALIFIED RETIREMENT PLANS AND SOCIAL SECURITY. EACH ANNUAL CONTRIBUTION IS SUBJECT TO A FOUR-YEAR VESTING OR RETENTION PERIOD. UPON COMPLETION OF THE APPLICABLE FOUR-YEAR RETENTION PERIOD FOR EACH ANNUAL CONTRIBUTION, VESTING WILL OCCUR, AND ANY ACCUMULATED BENEFIT UNDER THE PLAN WILL BE RECEIVED. ON THE FIRST DAY OF THE CALENDAR MONTH AFTER THE FOURTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE SERP BENEFIT, THE ANNUAL CONTRIBUTION AND ITS ASSOCIATED INVESTMENT GAINS OR LOSSES BECOME 100% VESTED. IN ADDITION, THE PARTICIPANT'S SERP BENEFIT BECOMES 100% VESTED UPON ANY OF THE FOLLOWING EVENTS: 1) REACHING THE AGE OF 65 (THE PLAN'S NORMAL RETIREMENT AGE), OR 2) DEATH, OR BECOME DISABLED UNDER THE LONG-TERM DISABILITY PLAN OR SOCIAL SECURITY. SHOULD EMPLOYMENT END FOR ANY REASON OTHER THAN TERMINATION WITH SEVERANCE, RETIREMENT AT AGE 65 OR OLDER, DISABILITY, OR DEATH, UNVESTED SERP FUNDS ARE FORFEITED. IF EMPLOYMENT IS TERMINATED WITH SEVERANCE, THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OUTLINED WITHIN THE SERP, AND NOT THOSE OF ANY SEVERANCE AGREEMENT, WILL CONTROL AND GOVERN PAYMENT ENTITLEMENT UNDER THE SERP. CERTAIN ELIGIBLE LISTED PERSONS RECEIVED AN ADDITIONAL PAYMENT DURING 2024 DUE TO A DELAY IN THE START DATE OF THE SERP. DURING 2024 THE FOLLOWING DISTRIBUTIONS WERE MADE BY COMMONSPIRIT FROM THE DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN: MITCH MELFI, $55,947; TERIKA RICHARDSON, $31,600. CERTAIN LISTED PERSONS ARE ELIGIBLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE CATHOLIC HEALTH INITIATIVES SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN, A SUPPLEMENTAL NON-QUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN FOR REGION CEOS/PRESIDENTS AND OTHER DESIGNATED COMMONSPIRIT EXECUTIVES AT THE LEVEL OF SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT AND ABOVE.

DOUGLAS LAWSON, $172,166; TROY HAMMETT, $59,057. DUE TO THE "SUPER" VESTING RULES UNDER COMMONSPIRIT'S DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN, PARTICIPANTS WHO HAVE MET CERTAIN REQUIREMENTS SUCH AS INVOLUNTARY TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE, AGE, AGE AND YEARS OF SERVICE, OR MORE THAN 5 YEARS OF PLAN PARTICIPATION ARE ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE THEIR 2024 CONTRIBUTIONS IN CASH. THESE CASH PAYOUTS ARE INCLUDED IN THE PARTICIPANT'S REPORTABLE COMPENSATION IN COLUMN (III) OTHER REPORTABLE COMPENSATION ON SCHEDULE J PART II. DURING 2024, THE FOLLOWING PAYMENTS WERE MADE PURSUANT TO THE SUPER VESTING RULES: MITCH MELFI, $224,064; T. DOUGLAS LAWSON, $238,262; TROY HAMMETT, $65,756.
PART II:
SYLVANIA FRANCISCAN HEALTH SYSTEM FOLLOWS COMMONSPIRIT'S EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY. COMMONSPIRIT'S EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY IS DESIGNED TO ASSIST COMMONSPIRIT IN ATTRACTING AND RETAINING THE CALIBER OF EXECUTIVES REQUIRED TO ENABLE COMMONSPIRIT TO FULFILL ITS MISSION OF PROVIDING HIGH QUALITY HEALTHCARE FOR ALL PERSONS REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY FOR SERVICES, IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF LIFE IN THE COMMUNITIES COMMONSPIRIT SERVES, PROMOTING PATIENT AND EMPLOYEE SATISFACTION, AND ENSURING FINANCIAL STABILITY. A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION IS PERFORMANCE BASED AND IS LINKED TO ORGANIZATIONAL GOALS APPROVED IN ADVANCE BY THE HUMAN RESOURCES AND COMPENSATION COMMITTEE. THESE GOALS INCLUDE ATTAINMENT OF ANNUAL AND LONG-TERM FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE, CERTAIN HEALTHCARE QUALITY STANDARDS AND COMMONSPIRIT'S COMMITMENT TO SERVING THE POOR AND DISENFRANCHISED IN THE COMMUNITIES IT SERVES. TOTAL COMPENSATION, WHICH INCLUDES BASE SALARY, ANNUAL, AND LONG-TERM INCENTIVE COMPENSATION, IS ESTABLISHED TO APPROXIMATE THE PREVAILING MARKET CONDITIONS FOR EXECUTIVES OF COMPANIES OF SIMILAR SIZE, REVENUES AND COMPLEXITY. PAYMENTS PURSUANT TO A LONG-TERM FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE GOAL WERE PAID IN CALENDAR YEAR 2024.
