“The ceo's salary is evaluated by the board of directors annually. The ceo's base salary is determined using benchmark market data obtained from the hospice salary and benefits report published by the hospital and healthcare compensation service in cooperation with the national association for homecare and hospice. This is the most comprehensive survey done by hospice organizations and it is widely used. At the beginning of every fiscal year, the board chair and the ceo jointly develop quantifiable objectives to measure and evaluate the ceo's performance. These include indicators such as: quality, employee satisfaction, employee turnover rates, volume (average daily census) targets, net margin, and medication cost per day. The organization maintains a salary schedule for all exempt and non-exempt positions. Compensation for officers and other key employees is determined through the use of this schedule. Each is reviewed annually by comparing to benchmarks positions within the hospice market and related salary and wage data. Where needed, appropriate, and feasible, pay ranges may be modified, with board approval, to more closely reflect the market. The process described here was last completed in 2022.”
