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

  • 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
THE ORGANIZATION RELIED ON A RELATED ORGANIZATION, COMMONSPIRIT, THAT USED ONE OR MORE OF THE METHODS DESCRIBED IN SCHEDULE J, PART I, LINE 3, TO ESTABLISH THE ORGANIZATION'S TOP MANAGEMENT OFFICIAL'S COMPENSATION: (1) PEOPLE AND COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OF THE COMMONSPIRIT BOARD OF STEWARDSHIP TRUSTEES ("BOARD"); (2) INDEPENDENT COMPENSATION CONSULTANT; (3) COMPENSATION SURVEY OR STUDY; AND (4) APPROVAL BY THE BOARD OR PEOPLE AND COMPENSATION COMMITTEE. SEE SCHEDULE O DISCLOSURE FOR FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15A FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.
PART I, LINES 4A-B
PART I, LINE 4A: CERTAIN LISTED PERSONS ARE COVERED BY AN EXECUTIVE SEVERANCE POLICY THAT PROVIDES MARKET-STANDARD COMPENSATION, RANGING FROM PAYMENTS OF 9 TO 24 MONTHS 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. A PAYMENT OCCURED PURSUANT TO THE PLAN ARRANGEMENT DURING CY2024 INCLUDE D. WETTLAUFER; $202,418. PART I, LINE 4B: CERTAIN LISTED PERSONS EMPLOYED BY DIGNITY HEALTH PARTICIPATE IN THE DIGNITY HEALTH EXCESS BENEFIT PLAN, A NONQUALIFIED SUPPLEMENTAL BENEFIT PLAN LIMITED TO PARTICIPANTS IN THE DIGNITY HEALTH RETIREMENT PLAN WHOSE BENEFITS ARE AFFECTED BY THE LIMITATIONS IMPOSED BY SECTIONS 401(A)(17) AND 415 OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE. BENEFIT SERVICE UNDER THIS PLAN WAS FROZEN AS OF JANUARY 1, 2008. NO PAYMENTS OCCURED DURING 2024 PURSUANT TO THE PLAN ARRANGEMENT. 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, WHICH BECAME EFFECTIVE IN 2024, 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. - REACHING THE AGE OF 65 (THE PLAN'S NORMAL RETIREMENT AGE) - 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. NO PAYMENTS WERE MADE PURSUANT TO THE PLAN DURING 2024. COMPENSATION AMOUNTS FOR THE SUPPLEMENTAL NONQUALIFIED RETIREMENT PLANS DISCUSSED ABOVE ARE REPORTED AS DEFERRED COMPENSATION IN THE YEAR ACCRUED (SCHEDULE J, PART II, COLUMN C) AND ARE REFLECTED AGAIN AS OTHER REPORTABLE COMPENSATION IN THE YEAR PAID (SCHEDULE J, PART II, COLUMN B(III)).
SCHEDULE J, PART III - SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURES
ALTHOUGH THE ORGANIZATION DOES NOT DIRECTLY EMPLOY ANY PERSONNEL, DIGNITY HEALTH AND DIGNITY COMMUNITY CARE FOLLOW COMMONSPIRIT'S EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY. COMMONSPIRIT'S COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY IS DESIGNED TO ASSIST THE ORGANIZATION IN ATTRACTING AND RETAINING THE CALIBER OF EXECUTIVES REQUIRED TO ENABLE 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 IT 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 PEOPLE AND COMPENSATION COMMITTEE. THESE GOALS INCLUDE ATTAINMENT OF ANNUAL AND LONG-TERM FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE, CERTAIN HEALTHCARE QUALITY STANDARDS AND THE ORGANIZATION'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.
