“As an affiliate of infirmary health system, inc., the infirmary follows the system-wide compensation philosophy. The system employees designated as officers, directors, and key employees are participants in the organization's performance plan that is reviewed annually for merit increases. The annual review covers the employee's performance for the fiscal year of april 1st through march 31st of the following year. The amount of individual merits/salary increases are determined based on the compa-ratio (hourly rate relative to salary range midpoint), the number of months since their last increase and performance score (rating) and the organization's annual merit guidelines. Each position is assigned a salary range based on market data, internal equity, and evaluation factors such as accountability, know how, and problem solving ability. Salary range midpoints (representing 100% of the market) increase each year based on external data. The organization participates in numerous salary surveys. Depending on the position, the survey data may be industry specific (e.g. Healthcare) or from other industries. Currently, executive position data comes from watson wyatt, integrated healthcare strategies, and sullivan cotter. The annual merit guidelines provide a merit increase percentage range based on the individual employee's performance rating and compa- ratio. For executives, the ceo and the vp-human resources review the suggested merit increase and make recommendations to the compensation committee before final recommendations are presented to the board of directors for approval. The organization had an external review of compensation practices performed by sullivan cotter in 2012, 2013, and 2017.”
