“Planned parenthood minnesota, north dakota, south dakota does not compensate any individuals. The organization has a services agreement in place with planned parenthood north central states, and relied on planned parenthood north central states in setting the compensation of those individuals listed in form 990, part vii, section a. Planned parenthood north central states used the following methods to establish the president's compensation: ppncs utilizes an outside compensation consultant to conduct a market analysis of president and executive compensation, reporting on both base pay market median and variable pay market median. For non-executive compensation, ppncs utilized an external consultant in 2021 and continues to conduct market analyses with payscale, which allows the job description to be applied to tailored market parameters. The market analysis is focused on organizations that match ppncs in size, scope, and region. Multiple types of organizations are used, predominantly focused on healthcare organizations, but other industries with similar size and scope are also used in the analysis to represent the complexity of the ppncs business model. The formal analysis is completed routinely and not less frequently than every three years the incumbent is in the position. In the off-cycle years, trending data is used to determine movement in president and executive pay and is used in consideration when making adjustment recommendations or when making a determination that an off-cycle market analysis is advisable. The market data is reviewed by the personnel and compensation committee comprised of independent persons who make a formal recommendation to the board of directors as it relates to establishing president compensation. The ceo, in consultation with the board's personnel and compensation committee, makes the final determination of salary increases for other executive compensation, excluding her own, based on analysis by the outside compensation consultant and on individual performance. This process was last undertaken in 2022 for the ceo, coo, cfo, cdo, cmo, svp of clinical operations, senior director of e&o, executive vp of external affairs, and director of board affairs.”
