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

  • 3 · Compensation committee
  • 3 · Form 990 of other organizations
  • 3 · Compensation survey or study
  • 3 · Approval by the board or compensation committee
  • 5a · Pay contingent on this organization's revenues
  • 6a · Pay contingent on this organization's net earnings

Answered no

  • 4a · Severance or change-of-control payment
  • 4b · Supplemental nonqualified retirement plan
  • 4c · Equity-based compensation arrangement
  • 5b · Pay contingent on a related organization's revenues
  • 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 5
BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT EMPLOYEES ARE ELIGIBLE FOR A BONUS TIED TO REVENUE GOALS OF THE ORGANIZATION. WHEN THE REVENUE GOAL IS ACHIEVED THE BONUS IS PAID.
PART I, LINE 6
MANAGEMENT IS ELIGIBLE FOR A BONUS TIED TO OPERATING INCOME GOALS OF THE ORGANIZATION. WHEN THE OPERATING INCOME GOAL IS ACHIEVED THE BONUS IS PAID, AS LONG AS IT DOES NOT CREATE A NEGATIVE NET INCOME RESULT.

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.
