“Each executive position is evaluated using a formal evaluation plan that is established by an outside consultant. At the present time, the consultant uses a point system for job evaluation. The point values are based on "know how", "problem solving", "accountability", and other job attributes specific to the position. Once the point value is set for a position, market comparisons for jobs with the same organizational impact can be compared for salary purposes and establish pay ranges. The design of the pay ranges for executives is based on market data. The midpoint of each pay range is established at the 50th percentile of the market comparisons. A minimum and maximum are established off of the midpoint. Specific pay rates for executives are subject to ceo and compensation committee and the genesis health system (ghs illinois) board of directors approval. Pay ranges are reviewed each year to determine the need for revision. When market conditions suggest an adjustment to pay ranges, data will be presented to the compensation committee for its review. The specific pay ranges are subject to ceo, compensation committee, and ghs illinois board of director approval. The president and ceo has the authority and responsibility to establish and adjust, within the range approved by the compensation committee and the ghs illinois board of directors, the base compensation of each executive employed by ghs illinois, at appropriate times. The ghs illinois board of directors shall establish and adjust, within the range approved by the compensation committee, the base compensation for the ceo of ghs illinois, at appropriate times. The last time this process was formally undertaken was november 2014.”
