| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15 | THE ORGANIZATION'S COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY IS THAT MOST JOBS ARE PRICED WITHIN 15% OF MARKET RATE. CURRENTLY, THE ORGANIZATION RELIES MOST HEAVILY ON THE ROCHESTER BUSINESS ALLIANCE (RBA) ANNUAL SALARY SURVEY FOR DATA FOR MOST POSITIONS. THE ORGANIZATION ALSO PARTICIPATES WITH OTHER GOODWILLS IN A MERCER EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION STUDY ON A BI-ANNUAL BASIS. NATIONAL DATA IS ALSO USED FOR SENIOR LEADERSHIP POSITIONS GENERALLY OBTAINED FROM ROCHESTER BUSINESS ALLIANCE AND THE GOODWILL NATIONAL SURVEY. THE EXECUTIVE BOARD REVIEWS AND APPROVES ALL SENIOR LEADER COMPENSATION. FOR NEW POSITIONS, HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT WORKS WITH THE HIRING MANAGER TO ESTABLISH A JOB DESCRIPTION THAT INCLUDES ESSENTIAL JOB FUNCTIONS AND NECESSARY EXPERIENCE, ETC. USING THAT INFORMATION, ALONG WITH FLSA AND EEO GUIDELINES, AS WELL AS THE RBA DATA, THE POSITION IS THEN GRADED AND MARKET PRICED. THE BASE SALARY AMOUNT THAT IS OFFERED IS DEPENDENT ON THE APPLICANT'S EXPERIENCE. THE GOAL IS TO HIRE FULLY QUALIFIED INDIVIDUALS CLOSE TO THE MID-RANGE OF THE ESTABLISHED PAY GRADE (THAT IS THE DETERMINED MARKET RATE) FOR THE POSITION; IF LESS EXPERIENCED, THEY ARE GENERALLY HIRED SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 25% AND 50% OF THE GRADE. FOR EXISTING POSITIONS, COMPENSATION AND JOB DESCRIPTIONS ARE REVIEWED ON A YEARLY BASIS FOR POSSIBLE MERIT INCREASE IN APRIL BASED ON JOB PERFORMANCE. ANNUAL REVIEWS ARE REQUIRED TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR AN INCREASE. IF AN EMPLOYEE RECEIVES AN INCREASE AFTER OCTOBER 1, OR IS HIRED AFTER OCTOBER 1, THEY ARE GENERALLY NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE ANNUAL INCREASE IN APRIL. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION IS DETERMINED BY THE BOARD AND PERFORMANCE IS REVIEWED ANNUALLY. |
