“Ghi has an annual process to review the market comparability of the total compensation of its ceo and its other officers. Every two years, under the direction of the ghi board of directors' compensation and leadership development committee (compensation committee), a total compensation market review of all senior vice presidents and above is completed by an external compensation consultant. The review includes all components of compensation; base salary, annual incentives, benefits and perquisites. The market survey results are presented to, reviewed by and approved by the independent compensation committee. Based on this market data, the compensation committee determines minimum and maximum total compensation ranges for each officer. In interim years, ghi's human resources staff, under the direction of the compensation committee, updates changes in the salary structure based on the same independent studies performed by the compensation consultant for the compensation committee. For the chief executive officer and certain other positions full independent reviews are performed to set salary ranges based on the competitive market data specific to those positions. The compensation committee reviews and approves each year's senior vice presidents and above compensation results. In all cases, committee members complete an annual conflict of interest survey to assure the compensation committee members' independence and this is updated at any meeting at which decisions are being made. Staff (other than the secretary to the board) is not in the room during deliberations or vote including executive sessions, and contemporaneous minutes are kept. The board of directors has delegated to the executive committee the accountability to conduct an annual performance evaluation and to determine the compensation of the ceo based on the performance review and the market comparability data, approved by the compensation committee. The board has delegated to the healthpartners ceo and president (with authority to further delegate) the accountability to conduct annual performance reviews and determine the compensation of all other officers within the compensation ranges determined by the compensation committee. Any exceptions to compensation in excess of the approved ranges are approved by the compensation committee. Total compensation is appropriately documented on the form 990 and w2 statements.”
