“All salary increases and compensation payments must have two levels of approval. If two levels of approval are not available internally, the compensation committee meets annually (or more frequently if needed for new employees or out of cycle amendments to existing arrangements) to approve in advance of any payments. The committee will only have members without a conflict of interest with respect to the compensation arrangements being discussed. The committee considers duties and external benchmark data to consider wages and benefits, including non-standard fringes, and will contemporaneously document in writing how its decisions were reached (including date, terms, data used, members of committee present and voting, and the recusal of any members due to a conflict and nature of the conflict).”
