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

  • 4b · Supplemental nonqualified retirement plan

Answered no

  • 4a · Severance or change-of-control payment
  • 4c · Equity-based compensation arrangement

The filer's explanations (Part III)

PART I, LINE 3
THE ORGANIZATION'S TOP MANAGEMENT OFFICIALS ARE EMPLOYED AND COMPENSATED BY NATIONAL TELECOMMUNICATIONS COOPERATIVE ASSOCIATION (NTCA), A RELATED ORGANIZATION, AND A GROUP HEALTH PROGRAM RELIES ON NTCA TO ESTABLISH REASONABLE COMPENSATION. THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER'S COMPENSATION IS REVIEWED BY AN INDEPENDENT COMPENSATION CONSULTANT THAT DOES A COMPARISON OF LIKE POSITIONS IN THE AREA AND PRESENTS THE STUDY TO THE NTCA BOARD FOR APPROVAL. THIS PROCESS IS DOCUMENTED IN THE BOARD MEETING MINUTES. THIS PROCESS WAS LAST CONDUCTED IN 2018. HOWEVER, THE ANNUAL SALARY INCREASE AND BONUS FOR THE CEO ARE APPROVED BY THE BOARD EVERY YEAR WHILE THE INDEPENDENT CONSUTANT STUDY IS BEING DONE ONCE EVERY FIVE YEARS. OTHER OFFICERS AND KEY EMPLOYEES' COMPENSATION IS REVIEWED BY A COMPENSATION CONSULTANT EVERY FIVE YEARS. CHANGES IN COMPENSATION ARE PRESENTED AND APPROVED BY THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER. THIS PROCESS WAS LAST REVIEWED INTERNALLY BY THE ASSOCIATION IN 2020.
