“Top management officials and key personnel: the process for determining compensation of top management and key personnel is governed by section 2.2 of the umos personnel handbook and the human resource practice of obtaining independent wage comparability studies. Umos utilizes a study conducted by the agency executives group (mra), the non profit center of milwaukee and independence first. The classification of positions takes into consideration, among other things, job duties, qualifications, required education and experience and position responsibilities. This study categorizes job positions by title and provides comparable wage rates for the geographic area where it operates. The study encompasses all umos positions including administrative, executive, management and operational personnel. Umos utilizes this data to adjust its base pay scale to conform to any changes in the market. Additionally, this study is utilized to comply with the requirements of federal and state contracts that mandate that umos' salaries be consistent with similarly situated non-profit rates. This study is independent, objective and conducted in an arm's length manner. The human resource department works in conjunction with the personnel committee of the umos board in updating the umos wage scale and corresponding salaries. The president/ceo the position of the president/ceo is similarly governed by the above mentioned policy; however, the position is subject to additional review and scrutiny by the executive committee of the umos board. The executive committee annually reviews the salary and fringe benefit structure of the president/ceo position. This process is done in conjunction with the annual performance evaluation of the present/ceo. Any adjustments are also required to be approved by the executive committee and subsequently referred to the full board of directors for ratification and concurrence. Section 2.2 of the umos personnel handbook also provides provisions for annual merit increases, salary adjustments for additionally assigned duties and annual costs of living adjustments. For the position of president/ceo a merit increased salary adjustment or cola cost of living adjustment requires the approval of the full umos board of directors. The policy calls for the vice president of operations to review and approve any such adjustments for any other umos staff. Prior to approval the adjustments proposed for any position are reviewed and screened by the human resource department for appropriateness. The human resource department and the chief financial officer are charged with reviewing the salaries of the executive director and other executives for special requirements or limitations set forth in any of the umos governmental contracts. An example of such a limitation is the limits on salaries imposed by the us department of health and human services. Under the umos head start contract the salary of the top level positions may not exceed the amount that is annually determined by dhhs. The chief financial officer and the human resource department monitor these salaries throughout the fiscal year. Lastly, any actions and deliberations taken by the umos board of directors, the executive committee and the personnel committee are documented fully and completely by the minutes of these meetings and are maintained in the corporate office.”
