COMMUNITY HEALTH INITIATIVES (CHI) - SEEKS TO MEASURABLY IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE.

Employees can report anonymously and without fear of retaliation.

Compliance Hotline Reports are provided for review and action to the Kaiser Foundation Health Plan/Hospitals Boards of Directors annually. 2.

Represented employees are subject to any corrective/disciplinary action provisions described in specific regional/national collective bargaining agreements and/or organizational policies and practices. 2. Kaiser Permanente notifies employees of the National Human Resources Policy No. 14. Corrective/Disciplinary Action Policy during new employee orientation and in annual compliance training. 3.

| form 990, PART VI, LINE 15A/B | Compensation Determination | The executive compensation program is designed to recruit, retain and motivate qualified senior management personnel. Senior management personnel have a significant impact on the strategic and policy direction and results of the organization. Therefore, the executive compensation program is, to a significant degree, performance-based. The compensation program is reviewed annually by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors which evaluates and approves, prior to payment, all programs and payments to CEO, Executive Director and top management officials (executives). Base pay for executive positions is established at a level comparable to the relevant market. In addition, other components of the compensation program bear 'at-risk' features designed to focus on strategically important performance goals and to assist in attracting and retaining top performers. The executive compensation program is targeted at the median of the comparable external market in which the organization competes for executive leadership. Evaluation of comparable pay data is performed by an Independent Compensation, Benefit & Human Resource Consulting firm. The compensation program focuses on objectives in the areas of quality of member care and service, financial soundness, and the community and social mission of the organization. |
