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
- 7 · Other non-fixed payments
Answered no
- 4a · Severance or change-of-control payment
- 4b · Supplemental nonqualified retirement plan
- 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
- 8 · Paid under the initial-contract exception
The filer's explanations (Part III)
- SCHEDULE J, PART I, LINE 3:
- NIS DOES NOT COMPENSATE THE ORGANIZATION'S CEO, WALTER STOCKTON. IGHL, AN AFFILIATE OF THE REPORTING ORGANIZATION, PAID COMPENSATION TO THE CEO. IGHL HAS ESTABLISHED HIS COMPENSATION USING: INDEPENDENT COMPENSATION CONSULTANT, FORM 990 TAX RETURNS OF OTHER ORGANIZATIONS, COMPENSATION SURVEYS OR STUDY, AND APPROVAL BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OR COMPENSATION COMMITTEE. IGHL HAS WRITTEN EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS IN PLACE FOR HIM, WHICH OUTLINES COMPENSATION INCLUDING ALL FORMS OF WAGES AND FRINGE BENEFITS. IGHL USES AN OUTSIDE INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTING CONSULTANT FIRM WITH EXPERTISE IN THE NOT-FOR-PROFIT INDUSTRY TO PERFORM COMPENSATION ANALYSES OF THE EXECUTIVE POSITIONS. THE COMPENSATION ANALYSIS INCLUDES COMPENSATION SURVEYS OF COMPARABLE POSITIONS BASED UPON THE COMPENSATION AND FRINGE BENEFITS REPORTED ON THE 990 TAX RETURNS FOR COMPARABLE AGENCIES IN THE INDUSTRY. THE RESULTS OF THE COMPENSATION ANALYSIS ARE PRESENTED TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, WHO REVIEW THE ANALYSIS TO DETERMINE APPROPRIATE COMPENSATION LEVELS AND ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH THE DUE DILIGENCE GUIDELINES AS OUTLINED IN IRC 4958. THE BASIS FOR ITS DETERMINATION AND ALL DECISIONS MADE ARE CONTEMPORANEOUSLY DOCUMENTED IN MEETING MINUTES. THE ORGANIZATION REGULARLY COMMISSIONS AN INDEPENDENT COMPENSATION STUDY; THE LAST SURVEY WAS COMPLETED IN 2023.
- Schedule J, Part I, Line 7:
- NIS gave out a lump sum one time merit bonus which was based on employee performance. This was in compliance with the NYSED reimbursement cost manual.
Part I's answers as filed. A line not listed was left unanswered; on lines 1a and 3 that means the box was not checked.
