FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15 ALL POSITIONS, INCLUDING THE CEO, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND SENIOR, OR KEY EMPLOYEES HAVE THEIR COMPENSATION DATA DETERMINED ACCORDING TO SPECIFIC COMPENSATION DATA THAT IS OBTAINED THROUGH A VARIETY OF SURVEYS. THE PROCESS THAT IS FOLLOWED INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING STEPS: I. ACRP JOB DESCRIPTIONS(NOT SPECIFIC JOB TITLES) ARE BENCHMARKED AGAINST COMPARABLE POSITIONS IN THE ASSOCIATION INDUSTRY. II. THESE POSITIONS ARE THEN ANALYZED ACCORDING TO SURVEY DATA OBTAINED BY A PROFESSIONAL COMPENSATION CONSULTANT FROM INDIVIDUAL MEMBERSHIP AND TRADE ASSOCIATION DATA AS WELL AS DC METRO DATA, WHICH IS PREFERRED OVER THE NATIONAL DATA. III. THE SELECTED SALARY DATA IS CUSTOMIZED FOR ACRP'S BUDGET, RATHER THAN THE SURVEY'S BROAD BUDGET RANGES. COMPENSATION FOR OTHER KEY EMPLOYEES AND STAFF I. PAY PHILOSOPHY - THE ASSOCIATION OF CLINICAL RESEARCH PROFESSIONALS (ACRP) IS COMMITTED TO PROVIDING SERVICE EXCELLENCE TO ITS MEMBERSHIP. ACRP RECOGNIZES THAT EACH EMPLOYEE PLAYS AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN ACHIEVING THIS COMMITMENT. IT IS THE PHILOSOPHY OF ACRP TO PAY COMPETITIVELY IN RELATION TO THE LOCAL MARKET AS OBTAINED FROM PROFESSIONAL SURVEY DATA BASED ON THE MARKET AVERAGE (MEAN). THIS PHILOSOPHY APPLIES TO ALL POSITIONS IN ORDER TO ATTRACT AND RETAIN QUALITY PERSONNEL. ACRP'S COMPENSATION PROGRAM IS BASED ON SALARY AND BENEFITS. VARIABLE PAY (BONUS) MAY ALSO BE USED SOLELY AT THE ORGANIZATION'S DISCRETION. II. PERFORMANCE-BASED PROGRAM - ACRP'S COMPENSATION PROGRAM IS PERFORMANCE-BASED. THE SALARY PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO REWARD HIGH PERFORMERS MORE GENEROUSLY THAN MID-LEVEL PERFORMERS. MERIT INCREASES ARE BASED ON INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE. AN EMPLOYEE WHO PERFORMS BELOW THE ESTABLISHED STANDARDS FOR THE POSITION WILL NOT RECEIVE AN INCREASE. IN ADDITION, EMPLOYEES WHO CONTINUALLY PERFORM AT BELOW AVERAGE LEVELS WILL BE DISCIPLINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH ACRP'S PROGRESSIVE DISCIPLINE PROCESS TO INCLUDE SUSPENSION AND/OR POSSIBLE TERMINATION. III. RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PROGRAM - THE FINANCE COMMITTEE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE INITIAL APPROVAL OF THE COMPENSATION PROGRAM AND FOR THE ANNUAL REVIEW, AUTHORIZATION, AND APPROVAL OF THE ANNUAL COMPENSATION BUDGET AS RECOMMENDED BY THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR. THE ASSOCIATION BOARD OF TRUSTEES (ABOT) ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FINAL APPROVAL OF THE COMPENSATION PROGRAM AND ANNUAL COMPENSATION BUDGET, WHICH IS PRESENTED BY THE FINANCE COMMITTEE. THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND HUMAN RESOURCES (HR) DIRECTOR ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DAY-TO-DAY MANAGEMENT AND USE OF THE PROGRAM. THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE ABOT REGARDING THE ANNUAL MERIT INCREASE BUDGET THAT COORDINATES WITH ACRP'S ANNUAL BUDGET PROCESS. THE RECOMMENDATION WILL TAKE INTO ACCOUNT GENERAL ECONOMIC CONDITIONS, EXPECTED PAY ACTIONS OF COMPETITORS AND ACRP'S BUSINESS PERFORMANCE. IV. SALARY RANGES - EACH POSITION HAS CERTAIN REQUIRED SKILLS, RESPONSIBLITIES AND AUTHORITY LEVELS THAT ARE ADDRESSED IN JOB DESCRIPTIONS. EACH JOB DESCRIPTION IS VALUED USING COMPETITIVE MARKET ANALYSIS AND PLACED IN A SALARY RANGE. ALL SALARY RANGES HAVE A MINIMUM (80%), MIDPOINT (100%), AND MAXIMUM (120%). EMPLOYEE SALARIES WILL BE WITHIN THE ESTABLISHED RANGE OF THE POSITION. V. QUARTILE PLACEMENT - ACRP'S SALARY PROGRAM USES QUARTILE PLACEMENT. QUARTILES PROVIDE GUIDANCE FOR FAIR AND EQUITABLE SALARY ADMINISTRATION. 1ST QUARTILE - SALARIES PAID IN THE 1ST QUARTILE APPLY TO EMPLOYEES WHO ARE INEXPERIENCED AND NEED TO GROW IN KNOWLEDGE AND JOB PERFOMRANCE. IT IS EXPECTED THAT MOST EMPLOYEES, IF RETAINED, WILL MOVE THROUGH THIS PART OF THE RANGE QUICKLY AS THEY PROGRESS. IF AN EMPLOYEE'S PROGRESS SLOWS OR STOPS, THE ORGANIZATION MUST CONSIDER RETRAINING, CHANGING POSITIONS, OR DISCONTINUED EMPLOYMENT. 2ND QUARTILE - SALARIES PAID IN HE 2ND QUARTILE ARE FOR EMPLOYEES WHO ARE GROWING AND PERFORMING. QUALITY RESULTS ARE ACHIEVED MOST OF THE TIME. SOME EMPLOYEES MAY NEVER PROGRESS BEYOND THIS PART OF THE RANGE. OTHER EMPLOYEES WILL PROGRESS THROUGH THIS LEVEL OF THE RANGE AS THEIR PERFORMANCE INCREASES. 3RD QUARTILE - SALARIES IN THE 3RD QUARTILE RELATE TO EMPLOYEES WHO HAVE CONSISTENTLY DEMONSTRATED COMPETENT PERFORMANCE. HIGH-QUALITY RESULTS ARE ACHIEVED. ONLY A SMALL SEGMENT OF EMPLOYEES WILL PROGRESS BEYOND THE 3RD QUARTILE. 4TH QUARTILE - SALARIES IN THE 4TH QUARTILE ARE FOR EMPLOYEES WHO HAVE CONSISTENTLY DEMONSTRATED OUTSTANDING, EXPERT PERFORMANCE IN THE POSITION. THIS LEVEL GENERALLY REFLECTS EMPLOYEES WHO HAVE MANY YEARS IN THE POSTION PLUS HIGH-QUALITY PERFORMANCE. APPROVALS - SALARY ACTIONS MUST BE REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY THE IMMEDIATE SUPERVISOR/MANAGER, NEXT LEVEL MANAGER, AND HR DIRECTOR PRIOR TO DISCUSSING WITH THE EMPLOYEE. ANY SALARY REDUCTION ALSO REQUIRES THE APPROVAL OF THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR. PERFORMANCE EVALUATION - MERIT INCREASES MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY A COMPLETED PERFORMANCE EVALUATION. VI. MAINTAINING THE COMPENSATION PROGRAM - SIMILAR TO OTHER ACRP PROGRAMS, THE COMPENSATION PROGRAM REQUIRES PERIODIC REVIEW AND REVISION TO MEET THE ONGOING ORGANIZATIONAL NEEDS. THIS HELPS THE ORGANIZATION MAINTAIN COMPETITIVE PAY PRACTICES FROM WHICH TO ATTRACT, RETAIN AND MOTIVATE QUALITY EMPLOYEES. A. COMPENSATION PROGRAM CHANGES - OCCASIONALLY, IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO MAKE CHANGES TO THE COMPENSATION PROGRAM'S POLICY AND/OR PROCEDURE. THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND HR DIRECTOR MAY REVIEW AND APPROVE CHANGES, PROVIDED THAT IT IS STRICTLY PROCEDURAL IN NATURE, BUT DOES NOT DIRECTLY MODIFY POLICY. IF ANY CHANGE WILL AFFECT POLICY, THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR WILL RECOMMEND THE REQUIRED CHANGE IN WRITING TO THE ABOT FOR REVIEW AND APPROVAL. B. SALARY RANGE MAINTENANCE - THE SALARY PROGRAM IS MAINTAINED ON A TWO-YEAR CYCLE: YEAR 1 - COMPLETE SALARY ANALYSIS: IT IS IMPORTANT TO MONITOR AND MODIFY THE RANGE ON A REGULAR BASIS TO MAINTAIN A MARKET-COMPETITIVE PROGRAM. THE HR DIRECTOR HAS THE RESPONSIBILITY TO MAINTAIN A COMPETITIVE PROGRAM. ONCE VERY TWO YEARS, THE ORGANIZATION WILL ENSURE THAT A COMPLETE SALARY ANALYSIS OF ALL POSITIONS IS PERFORMED. THIS STUDY WILL PROVIDE ESSENTIAL DATA FROM WHICH TO REVISE THE SALARY RANGE STRUCTURE AND/OR PROVIDE EQUITY ADJUSTMENTS TO EMPLOYEES, IF APPROPRIATE. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT STEP THAT HELPS MAINTAIN THE APPROVED PAY PHILOSOPHY OF THE ORGANIZATION. YEAR 2 - SALARY RANGE ADJUSTMENT ONLY: THE HR DIRECTOR WILL ENSURE PROPER RESEARCH IS PERFORMED RELATING TO COMPETITORS' SALARY INCREASES AND ECONOMIC CHANGES IN SALARIES (BASED ON ECI2 OR CPI3 OR A COMBINATION OF THE TWO). BASED ON THIS INFORMATION, THE ENTIRE SALARY RANGE STRUCTURE MAY BE ADJUSTED AT A LEVEL COMMENSURATE WITH ECONOMIC INDICATORS, BUT NEVER LESS THAN THE INCREASE IN CPI. THIS CHANGE WILL AFFECT THE SALARY RANGE STRUCTURE ONLY. ALL EMPLOYEE INCREASES ARE EARNED BASED ON PERFORMANCE.
