The philosophy states: - for purposes of executive compensation comparisons, scripps uses a national peer group of medical delivery systems of similar revenue size and complexity. The peer group is reviewed and approved by the human resources and compensation committee. - salaries are targeted at approximately the 65th percentile of the peer group and will reflect the performance of the individual. - total cash compensation is positioned at approximately the 75th percentile of the peer group when maximum level incentives are paid for achievement of maximum level of predetermined objectives agreed upon by the board. - the board selects the 65th percentile for base compensation of peer group adjusted for cost of living of urban west coast market at the 50th percentile (i.e. The 50th percentile of california market is the 65th percentile of national peer market as our executive recruitment market is national). - annually, total cash compensation for each position will not exceed the base salary established for the period plus the maximum incentive percentage payout allowable as determined by the scripps management incentive plan approved by the board of trustees for the respective position.
