Form 990, Part VI, Line 15b
Form 990, Part VI, Line 15b: Compensation Review and Approval Process for Officers and Key Employees
When determining the annual compensation for any insider, the organization shall always undertake and satisfy all three prongs of the rebuttable presumption set forth in the Internal Revenue Code regarding intermediate sanctions (4958).1. Compensation arrangement approved in advance by independent members of the organization's governing body (Board of Directors or a subcommittee thereof) that is composed of persons who do not have a conflict of interest with respect to the compensation arrangement.2. Before making the reasonable compensation determination, the governing body (or subcommittee thereof) relied upon comparability data (comparability data includes compensation paid by comparable and similarly situated entities) in deciding whether to approve the compensation.3. Governing body contemporaneously documents their basis for making its reasonable compensation determination, as follows:a. Terms of the approved compensation and the date approved by the Boardb. Members of Board present during debate on the compensation amount and those who voted on it and how they voted on itc. Description of the comparability data obtained and relied upon and how such data was obtainedd. Any actions by Board member having a conflict of interest (e.g. disclosure of the conflict of interest; recusal from the discussion)e. Documentation of the basis for the compensation determination before the later of the next Board meeting or 60 days after the final actions of the authorized body are takenIt is essential that the individuals whose compensation is being discussed not be present during such discussions.All identified payments of unreasonable compensation to an insider should be corrected (undoing of the unreasonable compensation to the extent possible) as soon as feasibly possible; for example, the insider should payback to the organization the unreasonable compensation amounts plus interest to put the organization in a financial position no worse than that in which it would be if the insider were dealing under the highest fiduciary standards.The reasonable compensation discussion should be undertaken by the Board at least annually; the reasonable compensation binder maintained for each insider should also be prepared, or at least updated, annually.The organization shall refrain, whenever possible, from paying contingent compensation to insiders and also avoid the payment of golden parachute payments to insiders.
