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

  • 3 · Form 990 of other organizations
  • 3 · Approval by the board or compensation committee
  • 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)

PART I, LINE 3
COMPARABILITY DATA IS USED TO DETERMINE WHAT PROPER COMPENSATION PACKAGE IS REASONABLE FOR ALL EMPLOYEES. THE BOARD AND OFFICERS DO A THOROUGH ANALYSIS OF POTENTIAL CANDIDATES FOR UPPER MANAGEMENT POSITIONS DETERMINING THE PACKAGE THAT ACKNOWLEDGES THEIR EXPERIENCE AND RESPONSIBILITIES. ANNUAL CHANGES IN COMPENSATION ARE REVIEWED WITH THE HR & GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE PRIOR TO IMPLEMENTATION. DISCUSSIONS AROUND ALL COMPENSATION DECISIONS ARE REFLECTED IN THE COMMITTEE MEETING NOTES. THE BOARD ALSO USES FROM 990 OF OTHER ORGANIZATIONS AS ONE OF THE WAYS TO VERIFY THE COMPENSATION OF THE CEO.
PART I, LINE 7
CERTAIN EMPLOYEES RECEIVED A PERFORMANCE BASED BONUS PAYMENT, BASED ON COMPANY PERFORMANCE METRICS AND CONTRACT STIPULATIONS. THE CEO AND PRESIDENT'S BONUS IS AT THE DISCRETION OF THE BOARD.

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.
