Return Reference Explanation
Schedule j, part I, line 3 IGHL establishes the compensation of the officers reported on this 990 utilizing the following: Independent Compensation Consultants, Form 990 tax returns of other organizations, compensation surveys or study, and approval by the Board of Directors. IGHL has written employment agreements in place for all officers reported, which outline compensation including all forms of wages and fringe benefits. IGHL uses an outside independent accounting consultant firm with expertise in the not-for-profit industry to perform compensation analyses of the executive positions. The compensation analyses include compensation surveys of comparable positions based upon the compensation and fringe benefits reported on the 990 tax returns for comparable agencies in the industry. IGHL last had a study completed in 2015. The results of the compensation analyses are presented to the Board of Directors, who review the analyses to determine appropriate compensation levels and ensure compliance with the Due Diligence Guidelines as outlined in IRC 4958. The basis for its determination and all decisions made are contemporaneously documented in meeting minutes. Schedule J, Line 4(b) Chief Executive Officer, Walter Stockton, participates in a supplemental nonqualified Section 457(f) plan; in 2015, IGHL contributed $40,000 into Mr. Stockton's 457(f) plan. Schedule j, part I, line 7 The Independent Group Home Living Program has an employee bonus plan in place for all employees of the organization (not just executives). Bonuses are not guaranteed and are only awarded if the organization meets certain performance and economic goals during the year. In 2015, IGHL issued bonuses to those employees that met specific performance goals. Only when the regular employee pool is eligible for bonuses does IGHL's executive management staff also receive bonuses. All bonuses are approved by the Board of Directors and contemporaneously documented in the Board Minutes. Executive bonuses are based on performance evaluations and never exceed 5%. All bonuses are recommended by the CEO and other management, but are required to be approved by the Board. No individual receiving a bonus had any input in the decision making process on his or her own bonus. The plan establishes a scale that ranges from 0 to 5% that applies to all IGHL employees; depending on an individual's performance during the year.
