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.

MUNSON HEALTHCARE EXECUTIVES ARE ELIGIBLE FOR AN ANNUAL BONUS BASED ON MEETING ORGANIZATIONAL GOALS, WHICH ARE SET IN ADVANCE AND APPROVED BY THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OF THE MUNSON HEALTHCARE BOARD. THE GOALS INCLUDE A COMBINATION OF FINANCIAL TARGETS, STRATEGIC TARGETS AND OPERATIONAL TARGETS INCLUDING QUALITY HEALTHCARE DELIVERY, DISEASE MANAGEMENT, PATIENT SATISFACTION, EMPLOYEE SAFETY, AND EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT. AT THE END OF EACH FISCAL YEAR, THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OF THE MUNSON HEALTHCARE BOARD IS CHARGED WITH REVIEWING AND APPROVING EXECUTIVE BONUSES BASED ON PROGRESS TOWARD MEETING ORGANIZATIONAL GOALS.
SCHEDULE J, PART III
PART I, LINE 4A EXECUTIVE SEVERANCE PLAN: SUBJECT TO REVIEW AND APPROVAL BY THE BOARD COMPENSATION AND EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP COMMITTEE, IN ORDER TO RECRUIT AND MAINTAIN QUALIFIED EXECUTIVES, A COMPETITIVE BENEFIT PACKAGE IS OFFERED TO THE PRESIDENT AND VICE-PRESIDENTS, WHICH INCLUDES A SEVERANCE PLAN. MUNSON HAS A SEVERANCE PLAN FOR THE PRESIDENT AND VICE-PRESIDENT/EXECUTIVE LEVEL POSITIONS, WHICH PROVIDES FOR THE PRESIDENT UP TO TWO YEARS OF PAY IN THE EVENT EMPLOYMENT ENDS UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS AND FOR VICE-PRESIDENTS, UP TO ONE-YEAR OF PAY IN THE EVENT EMPLOYMENT ENDS UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS. THE PLAN PROVIDES FOR A 50% OFFSET FOR SUBSEQUENT EMPLOYMENT DURING THE SEVERANCE PERIOD. MEDICAL BENEFITS ARE PROVIDED DURING THE SEVERANCE PERIOD. PART I, LINE 4B SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLANS: SUBJECT TO REVIEW AND APPROVAL BY THE BOARD COMPENSATION AND EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP COMMITTEE, IN ORDER TO RECRUIT AND MAINTAIN QUALIFIED EXECUTIVES, INCLUDING THE PRESIDENT AND VICE-PRESIDENTS, A COMPETITIVE BENEFIT PACKAGE IS OFFERED WHICH INCLUDES PARTICIPATION IN A NON-QUALIFIED SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT PLAN. FOR THE PRESIDENT, THE PLAN PROVIDES A TARGETED BENEFIT AT AGE 62. ANNUAL CONTRIBUTIONS, AT MUNSON'S DISCRETION, ARE MADE TO THE PLAN IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE THE TARGETED RETIREMENT BENEFIT LEVEL. VICE-PRESIDENTS ARE ELIGIBLE TO PARTICIPATE IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED 6% OF BASE COMPENSATION, FUNDED ANNUALLY, AT THE SOLE DISCRETION OF MUNSON. THESE FUNDS ARE AVAILABLE TO VESTED PARTICIPANTS UPON SEPARATION OF EMPLOYMENT FROM MUNSON. PART II, COLUMN B(III) IN JULY 2023, MUNSON HEALTHCARE TRANSITIONED EXECUTIVE PTO FROM AN ACCRUAL PLAN TO AN UP FRONT ANNUAL ALLOTMENT PLAN WITH A USE-IT-OR-LOSE-IT BALANCE DISPOSITION. CURRENT EXECUTIVES ON THE PTO ACCRUAL PLAN WERE PAID OUT THEIR EXISTING BALANCES IN JULY 2023. THE FIRST 80 HOURS OF ACCRUED PTO WAS PAID AT 90% OF VALUE AND THE BALANCE WAS PAID AT 80% OF VALUE. THIS PAYOUT IS LESS FAVORABLE THAN EXISTING POLICY, WHICH PAYS OUT ACCRUED PTO AT 100% UPON SEPARATION OF EMPLOYMENT. THIS ONE-TIME PAYOUT IS INCLUDED IN COLUMN B(III) OF SCHEDULE J. PART II, LINE 1, COLUMN B(III) CEO EDWIN NESS, A 25 YEAR EMPLOYEE, HAS BEGUN VESTING IN HIS SERP PLAN. IN 2023, THE TAXABLE AMOUNT WAS 834,836. THIS ONE-TIME TAXABLE AMOUNT IS REFLECTED IN HIS 2023 COMPENSATION IN COLUMN B(III) OF SCHEULE J. OF THE AMOUNT REPORTED IN THE CURRENT FORM 990 SCHEDULE J, SERP PLAN CONTRIBUTIONS IN THE AMOUNT OF 834,836 WERE PREVIOUSLY REPORTED AS BENEFITS IN PRIOR YEAR FORMS 990.
