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

  • 1a · Tax indemnification and gross-up payments
  • 2 · Substantiation required before reimbursing expenses
  • 3 · Compensation committee

The filer's explanations (Part III)

SCHEDULE J, PART I, LINE 1A TAX INDEMNIFICATION AND GROSS-UP PAYMENTS
CHRIS BARBER - GROSS-UPS OF $109 GROUP TERM LIFE, $323 FOR PERSONAL USE OF COMPANY OWNED CAR. BENJAMIN BARYLSKE - GROSS-UPS OF $109 FOR GROUP TERM LIFE AND $4 FOR GIFT CARD KEVIN HODGES - GROSS-UPS OF $109 FOR GROUP TERM LIFE.

SCHEDULE J, PART I, LINE 1B WRITTEN POLICY REGARDING PAYMENT OR REIMBURSEMENT OF EXPENSES
ALL REIMBURSEMENTS MUST BE APPROVED BY THE EMPLOYEE'S ONE UP.
SCHEDULE J, PART II, COLUMN (D)
THE INCREASE OF THE ACTUARIAL VALUE OF THE DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLAN IS NOT CALCULATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS BUT RATHER ON THE EMPLOYEE GROUP TAKEN AS A WHOLE. THE INCREASE IN EACH INDIVIDUAL'S BALANCE WOULD HAVE TO BE ESTIMATED USING ASSUMPTIONS UNIQUE TO THAT INDIVIDUAL RATHER THAN THE PLAN AS A WHOLE. THIS INFORMATION IS NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME. HOWEVER, WE BELIEVE THE INCREASE TO EACH INDIVIDUAL'S ACCOUNT WOULD NOT AUTOMATICALLY CHANGE THE COMPENSATION REPORTED. WE WILL WORK WITH OUR ACTUARY TO DETERMINE THE ANNUAL INCREASE IN FUTURE PERIODS.

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.
