| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 | The process for determining compensation for CEO, Officers and Key Employees: HAP's process for determining executive compensation is designed to meet the requirements for rebuttable presumption of reasonableness under Section 4958. The process includes review and approval by independent persons, comparability data, and contemporaneous substantiation of the deliberation and decision. CEO compensation is based upon market research data and performance as reviewed by HAP's sole member, Henry Ford Health System's Board of Trustees. HAP compared compensation of the CEO, other officers, and key employees to other HMOs in the surrounding local area with the same or similar title and documented the decisions on compensation in the board minutes. In addition, individuals were not present when their own compensation was decided. The Board of Trustees' Compensation Committee and the HFHS President and CEO are responsible for assuring that the CEO compensation is competitive, using comparative data from the local market place, meets the guidelines of HFHS's compensation philosophy, and is not deemed excess compensation. The performance evaluation and compensation are also reviewed by HAP's Compensation Committee. The Treasurer and Secretary's compensation are based upon market research data and performance as reviewed by the HAP Compensation Committee and approved by the HAP Executive Committee. The market research data is prepared and presented by an outside consulting firm. The HAP Compensation and Executive Committees are responsible for assuring that the Officers' compensation is competitive, meets the guidelines under the HAP Compensation Philosophy, is not excess compensation, and is aligned within their respective pay grades. Key Employees compensation is based upon their pay grade, performance, and the HAP Compensation Philosophy. The performance is evaluated by the immediate supervisor and any increase is based upon the salary increase range approved by the HAP Compensation Committee. These activities are coordinated by the HAP Human Resources department. | |
