“Compensation for the organization's top management official is paid by osf healthcare system, a related tax exempt organization. The board of directors has established a board committee known as the human resources committee whose members are all professed members of the religious congregation known as the sisters of the third order of st. Francis who have taken a vow of poverty. Hence, they do not personally benefit from decisions of the committee. The chief executive officer (ceo) is not a member of the committee. The performance of the ceo and his achievement of annual goals is evaluated each year by the full board of directors, and this performance review is provided to the committee. The committee also obtains compensation survey data and recommendations from a nationally recognized independent compensation consultant. Based on all of these factors, the committee sets the base salary and benefits of the ceo and approves the executive compensation plan applicable to the ceo. Prior to payment of any bonus or incentive compensation, the total compensation for the ceo, including base salary, benefits, and proposed bonus or incentive compensation, is again reviewed by a nationally recognized compensation consultant to ensure that no excess benefit amount is paid or furnished. Because the organization's top management official is not paid by the filing organization, the form 990 instructions require this to be answered "no."”
