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

  • 4a · Severance or change-of-control payment

The filer's explanations (Part III)

SCHEDULE J, PART II:
UNRELATED ORGANIZATION COMPENSATION THE ORGANIZATION EMPLOYEES RECEIVE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA AT CHAPEL HILL AND UNC HEALTH, AN UNRELATED ORGANIZATION PER 990 INSTRUCTIONS. THEIR COMPENSATION IS DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PAY AND EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PRACTICES OF THE NORTH CAROLINA STATE GOVERNMENT. UNC HEALTH HR ALSO DOES AN ANNUAL MARKET SURVEY TO DETERMINE COMPENSATION. THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE AND FOUNDATION PRESIDENT REVIEWED IT IS AT OR BELOW THE LOCAL MARKET RATE OF OTHER COMPARABLE NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS. THE FOUNDATION PROVIDED COMPENSATION INFORMATION TO THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE TO REVIEW FOR FY2025. COMPARATIVE BENCHMARKS WERE REVIEWED FROM THE AAMC AND UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA THAT WERE COMPARED TO ACTUAL SALARIES PAID. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE SALARIES WERE IN LINE WITH THE BENCHMARKS.
