On an annual basis an independent, nationally recognized compensation consultant completes a comparative assessment of compensation for the ceo and senior management within geisinger. The consultant's report is presented to the geisinger family committee prior to any compensation adjustment. The report supports the rigorous review completed by the geisinger family committee to ensure that the program is responsible to the geisinger charitable mission, reflects reasonable compensation within the nonprofit market and is compliant with the irs's intermediate sanction requirements. The survey data in the comparative analysis is captured for functionally comparable positions in multiple similar nonprofit organizations and reflects total remuneration provided in the market. All surveys are conducted by third party organizations and not conducted at the specific direction of geisinger. Any compensation adjustments are approved by the geisinger family committee prior to the effective date of the payment.
