| Form 990, Part VI, Sec B, Line 15b, Process to establish compensation of other employees |
OFFICERS AND KEY EMPLOYEES PAID BY SUTTER HEALTH, ARE UNDER THE AUTHORITY OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OF THE SUTTER HEALTH BOARD OF DIRECTORS WHO RETAINS ULTIMATE DISCRETIONARY AUTHORITY OVER ALL ELEMENTS OF COMPENSATION TO ASSURE THAT ORGANIZATIONAL PURPOSES ARE APPROPRIATELY BEING SERVED. THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE USES CREDIBLE DATA SOURCES AND MAINTAINS AN OBJECTIVE "ARMS LENGTH" DECISION-MAKING PROCESS, ENSURING THE INTEGRITY OF SUTTER'S EXECUTIVE PROGRAMS AND CONSISTENCY WITH THE ORGANIZATION'S OVERALL MISSION. IN ORDER TO ENSURE EXTERNAL COMPETITIVENESS, NATIONAL, CALIFORNIA AND LOCAL MARKET AREA COMPENSATION DATA COMPARISONS ARE REVIEWED. COMPETITIVE ANALYSIS INCLUDES: (A) BASE SALARY, (B) TOTAL CASH (BASE SALARY + ANNUAL INCENTIVE) AND (C) TOTAL REMUNERATION (BASE SALARY + ANNUAL INCENTIVE + BENEFITS AND LONG TERM INCENTIVE). THIS ANALYSIS INCLUDES COMPARABLE ORGANIZATIONS AND GEOGRAPHIC CONSIDERATIONS.
