Explanation
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 7A
THE ORGANIZATION DOES NOT HAVE MEMBERS. THE ORGANIZATION'S SPONSOR, MENNONITE HEALTH SERVICES, APPOINTS SIX OF THE NINE DIRECTORS OF THE BOARD ("SPONSOR APPOINTED DIRECTORS"). A SPONSOR APPOINTED DIRECTOR MAY BE REMOVED AT ANY TIME WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE.
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11
A FINAL DRAFT OF THE FULL FORM 990, INCLUDING ALL APPLICABLE SCHEDULES, IS PRESENTED BY OUR TAX ADVISORS TO THE ORGANIZATION'S AUDIT COMMITTEE AT A REGULARLY SCHEDULED MEETING. A COPY OF THE FINAL DRAFT IS THEN PROVIDED TO EACH BOARD MEMBER PRIOR TO ITS FILING. THIS ALLOWS THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND MANAGEMENT TO REVIEW AND PROVIDE COMMENTS AND EXPLANATIONS REGARDING CHANGES TO THE REDESIGNED FORM.
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12C
BOARD MEMBERS AND OFFICERS ARE REQUIRED TO ANNUALLY DISCLOSE ANY CONFLICTS OF INTEREST THEY MAY HAVE WITH THE ORGANIZATION. THE TREASURER REVIEWS EACH POLICY STATEMENT SIGNED BY THESE INDIVIDUALS TO DETERMINE IF ANY CONFLICTS HAVE OCCURRED AND NEED TO BE BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE BOARD. IF A CONFLICT ARISES, THE RESPECTIVE BOARD MEMBER WILL ABSTAIN HIM/HERSELF FROM ANY RELATED DISCUSSION, VOTE OR SIMILAR ACTION ON THE MATTER.
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15
GREENCROFT COMMUNITIES' (GC) PHILOSOPHY IS TO COMPENSATE TEAM MEMBERS IN A FAIR MANNER FOR THE WORTH OF WORK PROVIDED WITHIN THE CURRENT MARKET VALUE RANGE FOR EACH POSITION IN THE ORGANIZATION. GC WILL CONDUCT PERIODIC REVIEW OF THE MARKET TO DEVELOP AVERAGE WAGES FOR POSITIONS WITHIN GREENCROFT COMMUNITIES. GREENCROFT COMMUNITIES WILL START EMPLOYEES THAT MEET THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR THE POSITION AT/OR NEAR THE STARTING WAGE. EMPLOYEES WITH EXPERIENCE IN A JOB ARE HIRED HIGHER UP IN THE WAGE SCALE. A HIRING GRID IS USED FOR UP TO ELEVEN YEARS OF EXPERIENCE. OUR COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY FOR STAFF OF OUR ORGANIZATION IS BASED ON THE VARIOUS TIERS. THE FIRST TIER IS GENERAL AND MANAGEMENT STAFF. WE HAVE HIRED AN OUTSIDE CONSULTANT TO DEVELOP A COMPENSATION SYSTEM FOR ALL OF GREENCROFT COMMUNITIES' POSITIONS. THE CONSULTANTS DEVELOPED A SYSTEM WITH WAGE SCALES THAT USE THE MARKETPLACE AVERAGE FOR KEY POSITIONS AS THE STARTING POINT FOR THE SCALES. THE WAGE SCALES HAVE A MINIMUM, A 25TH PERCENTILE, A 50TH PERCENTILE (AVERAGE) A 75TH PERCENTILE AND A MAXIMUM. WE STRIVE TO KEEP THE AVERAGE PAY IN THE MARKETPLACE FOR POSITIONS AT THE MID-POINT OF OUR PAY RANGE FOR A POSITION DEVELOPED BY OUR CONSULTANTS. PERIODICALLY WE HIRE A CONSULTANT TO UPDATE THE MARKETPLACE AVERAGE FOR SEVERAL KEY POSITIONS. THE CONSULTANT WILL USE AREA MARKETPLACE DATA, LEADINGAGE DATA, AND OTHER INDUSTRY DATA TO DEVELOP THE AVERAGE. OUR COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY FOR EXECUTIVE STAFF (VICE PRESIDENTS AND ABOVE) OF OUR ORGANIZATION IS SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT. THE SECOND TIER IS VICE PRESIDENTS. THE WAGE SCALE SYSTEM IS THE SAME FOR OUR STAFF. HOWEVER, OUR POLICY STATES THAT VICE PRESIDENTS CAN EARN UP TO THE 85TH PERCENTILE OF THE RANGE FOR THEIR POSITION. OUR THIRD TIER IS SENIOR VICE PRESIDENTS AND CEO STAFF. THE WAGE SCALE SYSTEM IS THE SAME FOR OUR STAFF. HOWEVER, THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENCES. FIRST, THE POLICY STATES THAT SENIOR VICE PRESIDENTS AND THE CEO CAN EARN UP TO THE 75TH PERCENTILE OF THE RANGE FOR THEIR POSITION. THE PAY RANGE USES THE MARKETPLACE MEDIAN AS THE MID-POINT FOR THESE PAY RANGES, NOT THE MARKETPLACE AVERAGE. GENERALLY THE MEDIAN IS BELOW THE AVERAGE. THE BOARD HAS ALSO DESIGNED A QUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION PROGRAM FOR THIS TIER OF EMPLOYEE. ANNUALLY THE BOARD SETS ASIDE UP TO 10% OF THESE EMPLOYEES' WAGES IN THIS PROGRAM. ANNUALLY THE BOARD REVIEWS THE SALARY AND WAGE COMPARISONS FOR EACH EXECUTIVE STAFF MEMBER. A FISCAL YEAR 2014 SURVEY OF OUR EXECUTIVE POSITIONS SHOW THE FOLLOWING BREAKDOWNS: VICE PRESIDENT, SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT & CEO: NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES IN GROUP 0 TO 24TH PERCENTILE 0 (0%) 25TH TO 49TH PERCENTILE 2 (15%) 50TH TO 74TH PERCENTILE 9 (70%) 75TH TO 100TH+ PERCENTILE 2 (15%) THE OVERALL COMPENSATION POLICY, THE VPS COMPENSATION POLICES AND THE CEO COMPENSATION POLICY ARE APPROVED BY THE GREENCROFT COMMUNITIES (GC) BOARD OF DIRECTORS. THE VARIOUS AFFILIATES IN THE GC STRUCTURE REVIEW THE COMPENSATION POLICIES. ANNUALLY THE GC BOARD AND ITS AFFILIATE BOARDS REVIEW THE COMPENSATION OF THEIR RESPECTIVE EXECUTIVE TEAMS. THEY COMPARE BASE WAGES AND VARIABLE PAY PLAN WITH NATIONAL DATA PROVIDED BY LEADINGAGE (FORMERLY THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF HOMES AND SERVICES FOR THE AGING - AAHSA). THE BOARDS REVIEW THE CURRENT WAGE, THE PERCENTILE RANKING OF THE EMPLOYEE IN HIS/HER RESPECTIVE RANGE AND THE MEDIAN OF THE MARKETPLACE COMPARED TO THE MID-POINT OF THE EMPLOYEE'S RANGE. THE BOARDS DOCUMENT THESE MEETINGS AND ACTIONS TAKEN IN THEIR BOARD MINUTES. THE GC BOARD HAS REVIEWED THE BASE WAGE AND THE VARIABLE PAY FOR THE PRESIDENT AND CEO OF GREENCROFT COMMUNITIES. IN THE FISCAL YEAR 2014 THIS POSITION WAS AT THE 53RD PERCENTILE OF THE MARKET FOR SIMILAR SIZE NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS IN TOTAL CASH COMPENSATION AND AT THE 0 PERCENTILE OF THE MARKET FOR THE VARIABLE PAY COMPENSATION. THE LEADINGAGE/ZIEGLER 2014 DATA SHOWS TOTAL CASH COMPENSATION TO BE $233,800 TO $573,100. THREE YEARS AGO THE BOARD ADDED AN UNQUALIFIED SERP PROGRAM FOR THE TOP TWO EXECUTIVES (THE CEO AND THE CFO) OF THE ORGANIZATION. THE PURPOSE IS IN RECOGNITION OF TEN YEARS OF POSITIVE PERFORMANCE AND TO SERVE AS A RETENTION INCENTIVE, SO THE ORGANIZATION DOES NOT LOSE THIS TALENT TO OTHERS OFFERING A MORE COMPETITIVE WAGE. PAYMENTS INTO THE SERP ARE BASED ON LONGEVITY AND ORGANIZATIONAL PERFORMANCE. ANNUALLY THE BOARD REVIEWS FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE AND ALLOCATES A DOLLAR AMOUNT INTO AN UNQUALIFIED SERP FOR THESE TWO EXECUTIVES. THE EXECUTIVES NEED TO BE EMPLOYED AT GC AT THE QUALIFYING AGE TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR PAYMENT FROM THIS FUND, IF THEY ARE NOT EMPLOYED THE FUNDS REMAIN WITH GC. IF THE EXECUTIVES WERE TO RECEIVE THE FUNDS TODAY, THEY WOULD EARN APPROXIMATELY THE 53TH AND 68TH PERCENTILE OF THE RANGE FOR THEIR RESPECTIVE POSITIONS. ADDITIONALLY, THE BOARD LOOKED AT TWO ADDITIONAL DATA SOURCES FOR WAGE COMPARISONS. 1) GUIDESTAR 2013 DATA SHOWS THAT CEOS OF RETIREMENT ORGANIZATIONS OF SIMILAR SIZE BASE COMPENSATION RANGE FROM $292,000 TO $674,000-- GC PRESIDENT IS AT THE 24TH PERCENTILE OF THE RANGE FOR CCRCS COUNTERPART ORGANIZATIONS. 2) LEADINGAGE/ZIEGLER 2011 DATA SHOWS THAT FOR-PROFIT CEOS BASE COMPENSATION RANGE IS $437,900 TO $875,000 GC PRESIDENT IS BELOW THE STARTING RANGE OF FOR-PROFITS COUNTERPARTS ORGAN THIS PROCESS WAS LAST PERFORMED IN FISCAL YEAR 2014.
