“The allied services conflict of interest policy covers board members down to department heads as well as any staff who are involved in the purchasing process. All covered persons must complete an annual conflict statement. A covered person may have a direct or indirect financial interest which would include family and business relationships as potential sources of conflict. If a transaction is proposed involving a conflict, the board investigates alternatives for the transaction and makes a determination if a more advantageous arrangement can be made. Members involved in the conflict must abstain from voting on such matters, although conflicted individuals may present facts to the board. Any violations of the policy are handled as necessary from reprimand to termination from the board or employment, depending on the severity of the offense. Compliance with this policy is monitored by the vice president of human resources.”

“Allied participates in multiple regional salary surveys, two of which are the society of healthcare human resources of pennsylvania and the appalachian healthcare human resources society, to determine market competitiveness, and considers the external market as a factor in the job evaluation process. Compensation for officers and key employees is reviewed by a compensation committee of the board. Increases are recommended by the committee and approved by the board of directors based on the external surveys and internal reviews. This process is documented by the compensation committee and the board of directors. For all other employees, allied services follows an internal job evaluation process, administered by a cross divisional job evaluation team comprised of directors and assistant vice presidents. The job evaluation process is based on a fourteen point factor system and internal alignment within job classification. The process is documented and labor grade recommendations based on both internal and external results are made to the divisional vice president and vice president of human resources for final approval.”

“The organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements available to the public upon request.”
