Explanation
ORGANIZATION'S PROCESS USED TO REVIEW FORM 990
FORM 990, PAGE 6, PART VI, LINE 11B
FORM 990 IS REVIEWED BY THE CEO, CFO, AND THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS PRIOR TO FILING.
ENFORCEMENT OF CONFLICTS POLICY
FORM 990, PAGE 6, PART VI, LINE 12C
OVER THE PAST YEAR EASTERN SHORE RURAL HEALTH SYSTEM, INC. IMPLEMENTED A MORE ROBUST CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY THAT NOW REQUIRES BOARD MEMBERS TO ANNUALLY SIGN THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY. DURING THE MEETING HELD ON AUGUST 29, 2013 ALL BOARD MEMBERS SIGNED THE POLICY. HEREAFTER, THE POLICY WILL BE RESIGNED ANNUALLY AT THE JUNE BOARD MEETING.
COMPENSATION PROCESS FOR TOP OFFICIAL
FORM 990, PAGE 6, PART VI, LINE 15A
THE ORGANIZATION INCLUDES AN AVERAGE SALARY INCREASE FOR ALL STAFF IN THE BUDGET SUBMITTED TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR APPROVAL ON AN ANNUAL BASIS. THIS BUDGET IS PART OF THE 330 GRANT APPLICATION SUBMITTED TO THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, HEALTH RESOURCES AND SERVICES ADMINISTRATION FOR GRANT FUNDING THAT REPRESENTS 30% OF THE TOTAL BUDGET. GENERALLY, THE GRANT APPLICATION IS SUBMITTED TO THE BOARD IN JANUARY AT A SPECIAL CALLED MEETING AND IS VOTED ON FOR APPROVAL OR AMENDMENTS A WEEK LATER AT THE REGULARLY SCHEDULED MONTHLY BOARD MEETING. THE BUDGET CONTAINS AN AVERAGE INCREASE THAT WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR ALL STAFF, CONTRACTUAL EMPLOYEES, OFFICERS, AND THE CEO. NEXT, IN JUNE OF EACH YEAR, ALL EMPLOYEES, INCLUDING THE CEO, ARE EVALUATED THROUGH A WRITTEN APPRAISAL PROCESS. THE CEO IS EVALUATED BY THE BOARD CHAIR. ALL EVALUATIONS REQUIRE A MINIMUM OF TWO INDEPENDENT EVALUATIONS IN ADDITION TO THE SUPERVISOR AND EACH EMPLOYEE SUBMITS A WRITTEN SELF-APPRAISAL. THE EVALUATIONS ARE WRITTEN AND BASED ON THE ESSENTIAL JOB FUNCTIONS. PERFORMANCE OF EACH FUNCTION IS ASSIGNED A NUMERICAL VALUE. THE EVALUATIONS ALSO SET GOALS FOR THE UPCOMING YEAR AND EVALUATE THE LEVEL OF ACHIEVEMENT OF GOALS ESTABLISHED DURING THE PRIOR EVALUATION PERIOD. UPON COMPLETION OF ALL EVALUATIONS, THE BOARD DETERMINES THE PERCENTAGE INCREASE FOR THE CEO BASED ON THE NUMERIC SCORE ACHIEVED, THE ACCOMPLISHMENT OF GOALS ESTABLISHED IN THE PRIOR YEAR, THE FINANCIAL POSITION OF THE ORGANIZATION, THE RANGE APPROVED IN THE BUDGET CYCLE, AND COMPENSATION OF CEOS FROM THE COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS LOCATED IN VIRGINIA. THIS INFORMATION IS GATHERED FROM AN ANNUAL COMPENSATION SURVEY GATHERED FROM ALL COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS IN THE STATE AND CONDUCTED BY THE VIRGINIA COMMUNITY HEALTHCARE ASSOCIATION.
COMPENSATION PROCESS FOR OFFICERS
FORM 990, PAGE 6, PART VI, LINE 15B
FOLLOWING THE BUDGET AND EVALUATION PROCESS (DESCRIBED FOR CEO), THE CEO DETERMINES THE PERCENT INCREASES FOR THE OTHER OFFICERS BASED ON THE NUMERIC SCORES OF EVALUATIONS, THE RANGE SET BY THE BOARD DURING THE BUDGET CYCLE, FINANCIAL POSITION OF THE ORGANIZATION, AND PREVAILING COMPENSATION FROM THE SALARY SURVEY. THE CHIEF HUMAN RESOURCE OFFICER AND THE CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER USE THE NUMERIC VALUE OF EACH EMPLOYEE'S EVALUATION TO DETERMINE THE PERCENT INCREASE FROM THE POOL APPROVED BY THE BOARD IN THE BUDGET. THESE PROPOSED RAISES ARE THEN SUBMITTED TO THE CEO FOR FINAL APPROVAL.
