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

  • 4b · Supplemental nonqualified retirement plan

The filer's explanations (Part III)

Schedule J, Part I, Line 3 Arrangement used to establish the top management official's compensation
THE FILING ORGANIZATION, DESERT MISSION, INC., DOES NOT COMPENSATE OR PROVIDE BENEFITS. ALL COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS ARE DETERMINED AND PAID BY HONORHEALTH, A RELATED TAX EXEMPT ORGANIZATION. THE COMPENSATION OF DESERT MISSION'S EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR IS DETERMINED BASED UPON MARKET DATA OBTAINED FROM THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE, OPERATIONAL NEED, AND INTERNAL EQUITY.
Schedule J, Part I, Line 4b Supplemental nonqualified retirement plan
HONORHEALTH OFFERS CERTAIN EXECUTIVES A NON-QUALIFIED SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN (SERP). IT IS INTENDED THAT THIS PLAN BE AN INELIGIBLE DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF CODE SECTION 457(F) AND BE OPERATED IN COMPLIANCE WITH CODE SECTION 409A. THE DESIGN OF THE SERP IS SUCH THAT IT PROVIDES A MECHANISM FOR RESTORATION OF DEFERRED RETIREMENT THAT OTHERWISE WOULD BE LOST TO THE EXECUTIVES DUE TO MANDATORY CAP ON DEFERRALS WITHIN THE QUALIFIED RETIREMENT PLAN OFFERED TO OTHER EMPLOYEES OF HONORHEALTH. THE SERP IS ALSO DESIGNED TO DISCOURAGE EXECUTIVE TURNOVER, WHICH COULD HAMPER ORGANIZATIONAL STABILITY AND SUSTAINABILITY, THROUGH THE SERVICE REQUIREMENTS THAT AN EXECUTIVE MUST MEET IN ORDER TO RECEIVE BENEFITS FROM THIS PLAN. THE ANNUAL VALUE OF EACH EXECUTIVE'S PARTICIPATION IN THE PLAN IS TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION AS PART OF THE CALCULATION OF TOTAL COMPENSATION WHEN TESTED AGAINST THE MARKET FOR REASONABLENESS. DEFERRED COMPENSATION, REPORTED IN SCHEDULE J, PART II, COLUMN (C), INCLUDES THE INCREASE IN VALUE OF THE SERP ACCOUNT, INCLUDING TAX DEFERRED CONTRIBUTIONS AND EARNINGS. THE FOLLOWING INDIVIDUALS EXPERIENCED A TAXABLE VESTING EVENT DURING THE YEAR AS FOLLOWS. THESE AMOUNTS WERE INCLUDED IN COLUMN (B)(III) AS TAXABLE WAGES. ANY PORTION OF THE DISTRIBUTION THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY REPORTED ON A PRIOR 990 AS DEFERRED HAS BEEN REPORTED IN COLUMN (F). TODD LAPORTE: $143,955 ELIZABETH FARHART: $26,325
