| Form 990, Part VI, Line 15a Process to establish compensation of top management official | Beacon Credit Union utilizes a salary administration product managed by an independent party to determine appropriate salary ranges for each employee position based on responsibilities, education, number of employees supervised, etc. Salary ranges are then approved by the President/CEO. Parameters are put into place at the end of each calendar year for an annual review. In this process, an employee's compensation may increase based on their past performance and where their current salary falls within the range for the position and applicable criteria. A report is also generated periodically for the CEO and is provided by HR to the Board of Directors (pulled when employment contract is up for renewal which is typically every three years). The Board of Directors will establish the CEO compensation and other benefits. An agreement will then be drafted by the Credit Union's legal counsel for the period agreed upon by the CEO and Board of Directors. The compensation review from the independent vendor was completed in 2024. |
