“Lluh, llubmc's parent organization, employs an independent outside consulting firm to benchmark compensation for lluh employees. Llubmc's ceo and cfo are employed by lluh. The lluh executive compensation committee uses the results of the independent survey to establish pay scales for the next fiscal year. The executive compensation committee sets the total compensation below the industry mean and median amounts provided in the survey. The executive compensation committee is composed of trustees appointed by the lluh board who are independent of lluh's management. The executive compensation committee is appointed by the lluh board of trustees to have direct responsibility for establishing compensation, policies, and benefits for the senior executives of lluh. The committee's process includes contemporaneous substantiation of deliberations and decisions. For key employees other than the officers as well as employees in leadership positions, llubmc management, through the human resource department, obtains the services of an independent consulting firm to conduct nationwide compensation surveys. Management uses the comparable benchmarks in the survey results to establish or review pay scales for the position. This survey, conducted by the independent consulting firm, is performed for the organization every two years. Internally, the human resource department conducts annual surveys using at least three survey results from independent firms to establish or review the reasonableness of compensation amounts.
