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

  • 1a · Health or social club dues or initiation fees
  • 1b · Written policy on the line-1a expenses
  • 2 · Substantiation required before reimbursing expenses
  • 4a · Severance or change-of-control payment
  • 4b · Supplemental nonqualified retirement plan
  • 7 · Other non-fixed payments

  • 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
  • 8 · Paid under the initial-contract exception

The filer's explanations (Part III)

SCHEDULE J, PAGE 1, PART I, LINE 1A
MUNSON HEALTHCARE MAINTAINS A SOCIAL MEMBERSHIP AT THE TRAVERSE CITY COUNTRY CLUB. A REQUIREMENT OF THE COUNTRY CLUB IS THAT A MEMBERSHIP BE IN AN INDIVIDUAL NAME AND NOT A CORPORATE NAME, SO EDWIN NESS IS LISTED AS THE INDIVIDUAL FOR THE MEMBERSHIP. MUNSON HEALTHCARE USES THE SOCIAL MEMBERSHIP TO CONDUCT OFF-SITE BUSINESS MEETINGS AND RETREATS.
SCHEDULE J, PAGE 1, PART I, LINE 3
THE PROCESS FOR DETERMINING APPROPRIATE LEVELS OF PAY FOR EXECUTIVE POSITIONS WITHIN MUNSON HEALTHCARE SYSTEM IS CAREFULLY AND THOUGHTFULLY DIRECTED BY THE MUNSON HEALTHCARE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, THROUGH THE COMPENSATION AND EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE. THE COMMITTEE UTILIZES "BEST PRACTICES" METHODS OF DETERMINING COMPENSATION AND, AS SUCH, IS COMPOSED OF SEVEN MEMBERS WHOSE VOTING MEMBERS ARE INDEPENDENT. THE COMMITTEE IS CHARGED WITH ENSURING THAT EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION IS DESIGNED TO ATTRACT AND RETAIN HIGH QUALITY, PROFESSIONAL LEADERSHIP WHILE MAINTAINING STRONG STEWARDSHIP FOR THE ORGANIZATION. COMPENSATION LEVELS REFLECT THE SCOPE OF EACH EXECUTIVE'S RESPONSIBILITIES, EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND, EXPERIENCE, AND INDUSTRY STANDING AS WELL AS INDIVIDUAL AND ORGANIZATIONAL PERFORMANCE. ANNUALLY, THE COMMITTEE RETAINS A NATIONAL INDEPENDENT CONSULTANT TO ENSURE MUNSON HEALTHCARE'S COMPENSATION PRACTICES AND LEVELS ARE INDEPENDENTLY REVIEWED WHILE BEING COMPETITIVE AND REASONABLE. THE MUNSON HEALTHCARE CONFLICT, VALUATION AND COMPLIANCE ("CVC") COMMITTEE ALSO REVIEWS THE SURVEY INFORMATION TO EVALUATE THE REASONABLENESS OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION. THAT ANALYSIS OCCURS EACH NOVEMBER. THE COMPENSATION AND EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE USES THE FOLLOWING METHODS TO ESTABLISH THE COMPENSATION OF THE ORGANIZATION'S PRESIDENT: COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INDEPENDENT COMPENSATION CONSULTANT COMPENSATION SURVEY OR STUDY APPROVAL BY THE BOARD OR COMPENSATION COMMITTEE
