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 · Independent compensation consultant
  • 3 · Compensation survey or study
  • 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

  • 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 7
SCHEDULE J, PART I, LINE 7 THE CENTER FOR EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES OFFERS MERIT BASED BONUSES THAT ARE DEFINED BY LONG TERM GOALS TIED TO ITS STRATEGIC PLAN. THE CEO REVIEWS EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE AND AUTHORIZES BONUSES BASED ON THE INDIVIDUAL HAVING MET CERTAIN OBJECTIVE COMPANY GOALS. BONUSES ARE ENTIRELY DISCRETIONARY BASED ON THE COMPANY'S ANNUAL BUDGET AND PERFORMANCE. THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER'S OWN BONUS IS DETERMINED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS BASED ON SIMILAR OBJECTIVE COMPANY GOALS. ALL EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION DECISIONS ARE DOCUMENTED IN BOARD MEETING MINUTES.

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.
