Pursuant to administrative services agreements, the UMWA 1974 Pension Trust serves as Master Administrative Entity for the other plans and employs the administrative staff of the Funds. Compensation of the Executive Director and other key staff officers, including heads of all staff departments, is determined by the board of trustees of the 1974 Pension Trust after consultation with the board of trustees of the Plan and other boards of trustees of plans among the Funds. Neither the Executive Director nor any staff officer serves on the Plan's or any of the Funds' boards of trustees.Compensation of the Executive Director and all key staff officers (as well as all other staff employees) is determined based upon results of periodic surveys and analysis conducted by expert outside consultants who gather and review compensation data from comparable positions at comparable organizations. The most recent such survey and analysis was conducted by Buck Consultants in 2009.The reports and supporting documentation of outside compensation consultants and the memoranda and minutes reflecting the boards of trustees' review of these reports and their establishment of compensation of the Executive Director and other key staff officers all constitute the contemporaneous documentation of decisions regarding the compensation arrangement, and all are maintained as part of the records of the Plan and the Funds. |
