“The process for determining compensation of sr. Executive or sr. Administrative positions includes a subcommittee of the union hospital's board of directors' executive committee consisting of independent board members whose responsibility includes such review, including review of the ceo's compensation. They gather information and follow the steps set forth below and in turn submit to the full board of directors the recommendations in terms of compensation and benefits for the ceo and sr. Management. A subcommittee of the board of directors' executive committee consists of individuals who are independent and disinterested board members. The ceo is excused from the meeting when his/her compensation/benefits are reviewed both at the committee level and the board level. The steps include: 1. The executive/compensation subcommittee instructs the vp of human resources to retain an outside independent consultant to (1) provide the committee with information, and (2) to review the actions and compensation/benefits to be sure that there is not excessive compensation. The consultant that has been used the past several years is sullivan cotter & associates, inc. Under the process, sullivan cotter first is provided with the names and job descriptions for the sr. Management team that is being evaluated. The independent advisor then submits to the executive/compensation subcommittee comparable information, specifically: two (2) commercially available executive health care compensation surveys prepared by independent firms, were referenced to obtain market data for this review: -sullivan cotter: 2023 health care management and executive compensation survey report -mercer: 2023 integrated health networks compensation survey -market data reflecting functionally comparable positions were obtained for all executive positions. -the data reported represented the 50th, 75th, and 90th percentiles of base salary and total cash compensation (base salary plus actual annual incentive - abbreviated tcc) -survey data includes categorical and regression-based data. -categorical data are the aggregate cash compensation reported by organizations that fall within a particular size range (net revenue) -for most published compensation surveys, these categories remain the same each year regression-based data are estimates of the cash compensation paid by organizations of a specific size and are based on a "best-fit" regression line determined using the entire data sample for each position. -the national average data presented are a simple average of all reported market data -the methodology of averaging the reported data from multiple surveys is a common and widely-accepted professional practice in conducting market comparability studies. -when it is not possible to combine the actual source data from the survey respondents, this practice allows the blending of data from multiple sources into a single composite value to use in the analysis 2. The executive/compensation subcommittee of union hospital's board of directors takes the data provided by the independent consultants and following a review of the performance of each individual submits to the full board for approval recommendations in terms of salaries, benefits, and bonuses. Final approval is by the board of directors. The ceo does not take part in the discussion or action on his/her salary, benefits, and bonus. 3. Minutes of the executive/compensation subcommittee and the board meetings are contemporaneously kept and maintained with the corporate minute books.”
