GREENCROFT COMMUNITIES FOUNDATION'S (GCF) 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. GCF CONDUCTS PERIODIC REVIEW OF THE MARKET TO DEVELOP AVERAGE WAGES FOR POSITIONS WITHIN GREENCROFT COMMUNITIES FOUNDATION. GREENCROFT COMMUNITIES FOUNDATION DOES NOT HAVE ANY EMPLOYEES. THE EMPLOYEES ARE PART OF GREENCROFT COMMUNITIES AND PROVIDE SERVICES AT COST TO THE GREENCROFT COMMUNITIES FOUNDATION. THE OVERALL COMPENSATION POLICY AND THE VP COMPENSATION POLICY ARE APPROVED BY THE GREENCROFT COMMUNITIES (GC) BOARD OF DIRECTORS. THE GCF BOARD REVIEWS THE COMPENSATION PRACTICES. ANNUALLY THE GC BOARD AND THE GCF BOARD REVIEW THE COMPENSATION OF THE EXECUTIVE, A GREENCROFT COMMUNITIES EMPLOYEE. THEY COMPARE CURRENT WAGES WITH NATIONAL DATA PROVIDED BY LEADINGAGE (FORMERLY 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 GCF BOARD HAS REVIEWED THE BASE WAGE AND THE VARIABLE PAY FOR THE PRESIDENT OF GREENCROFT COMMUNITIES FOUNDATION. IN THE FISCAL YEAR 2014 THIS POSITION WAS AT THE 30TH PERCENTILE OF THE RANGE FOR THIS POSITION IN BASE COMPENSATION AND AT THE 0 PERCENTILE OF THE MARKET FOR THE VARIABLE PAY COMPENSATION. THIS PROCESS WAS LAST PERFORMED IN FISCAL YEAR 2014.
