| Form 990, Part VI, Line 15a Process to establish compensation of top management official | The compensation committee is appointed by GreenState Credit Union's (GSCU) board of directors (the "board") to discharge the board's responsibilities relating to compensation of the credit union's executive staff. The committee has overall responsibility for approving and evaluating the President/CEO compensation, benefit and perquisite plans, policies and programs of the credit union. The compensation committee is also responsible for producing an annual report on executive compensation for review by the entire board. The compensation committee shall consist of three to four members of the board. The board will designate one member of the compensation committee as its chairperson. The compensation committee shall have the authority to retain and terminate any compensation consultant assisting in the compensation evaluation of the President/CEO and shall have authority to approve the consultant's fees and other retention terms. The compensation committee shall also have authority to obtain advice and assistance from internal or external legal, accounting or other advisors. Top management team members' compensation levels are determined by the CEO using the same methodology used by other supervisors at the credit union - to ensure that employee reviews are properly conducted in a timely manner, and pay rates are properly authorized by the appropriate management. Procedures for determining hourly pay are reviewed and determined by the human resource executive. A salary administration plan and job position scoring system is used by the credit union. Supervisors review and update job descriptions every two years or more frequently as job responsibilities change or new positions are created. Positions are scored and annually updated to reflect the labor market both geographically and industry wide to ensure ranges are internally consistent, externally competitive and responsive to changes in economic conditions. The salary scale for each position has a minimum, midpoint, and maximum salary. The Credit Unions base salary levels are targeted at or above market levels, so they can best attract and retain the highest quality employees. The credit union adjusts its salary scale yearly for each position so that the midpoint of each range, when combined with incentive opportunities, approximates 75% compensation for the position. The process takes place annually and was last performed in January, 2023. |
