“Edgewater Place's (EP) philosophy is to compensate team members in a fair manner for the worth of work provided within the current market value range for each position in the organization. EP conducts periodic review of the market to develop average wages for positions within Edgewater Place. Edgewater Place starts team members, that meet the minimum requirements for the position, at/or near the starting wage. We make adjustments to the starting wage based on years of experience in that specific position. Our compensation philosophy for team members of our organization is based on various tiers. The first tier is general team members. We have hired an outside consultant to develop a compensation system for all of Edgewater Place's positions. The consultants developed a system with wage scales that use the marketplace average for key positions as the starting point for the scales. The wages scales have a minimum, a 25th percentile, a 50th percentile (average) a 75th percentile and a maximum. We strive to keep our average for positions at the mid-point of a range developed by our consultants. Periodically we hire a consultant to update the marketplace average for several key positions. The consultant will use area marketplace data, LeadingAge data, and other industry data to develop the average. Our compensation philosophy for Management and Executive team members (Directors and Vice President) of our organization is slightly different. The second tier is Management team members. The wage scale system is the same for our team members. However, our policy states that Directors are like other team members and can earn up to the 100th percentile of the range for their position. Our third tier is Vice President Team members. The wage scale system is the same for our team members. However, there is one difference. The policy states that Vice Presidents can earn up to the 100 percentile of the range for their position. The range uses the median as the mid-point not the average. Generally, the median is below the average. The overall compensation policy and the VP compensation policy are approved by the Greencroft Communities (GC) Board of Directors. The Edgewater Place (EP) Board reviews the compensation policies. Annually the GC Board and the EP Board review the compensation of the Executive Team. They compare current wages with national data provided by LeadingAge. The Boards review the current wage, the percentile ranking of the employee in his/her respective range and the median of the marketplace compared to the mid-point of the employee's range. The Boards document these meetings and actions taken in their Board minutes. The EP Board has reviewed the base wage and the variable pay for the President of Edgewater Place. In the Fiscal Year 2023 (IRS 990 Year 2022) for the President was at the 49th percentile of the range for this position in base compensation. THIS PROCESS WAS LAST PERFORMED IN FISCAL YEAR 2023.”
