Explanation
Schedule J, Part I, Line 3 Arrangement used to establish the top management official's compensation
The compensation of the officer listed on Schedule J is determined by United Way of Greater Cincinnati (UWGC), a related tax-exempt organization. UWGC used the following process for determining the compensation of officers, key employees and the highest compensated employees: Merit Pool, Salary Ranges, Compensation Policy - The Human Resources (HR) Committee utilized data gathered in the fall of 2014 from reliable compensation sources to prepare a recommendation for a merit pool based on projected base pay movement in the competitive market; to confirm current executive salary ranges for the President/CEO (President), Executive Vice President/COO (EVP/COO) and the Vice Presidents; and to review the appropriateness of current non-executive salary ranges relative to market trending. The committee used data from: * Employers Resource Association's (ERA) Wage and Salary Adjustment Survey; * projected base pay increases from United Ways similar in size and operating structure to UWGC; * a United Way Worldwide (UWW) compensation survey of the top six executives from seventeen comparable United Ways; and * national studies from World at Work, Towers Watson, The Conference Board, Hay Group and Aon Hewitt. The HR Committee also reviewed UWGC's Compensation Policy recommending some minor verbiage changes. The merit pool and Compensation Policy were presented and approved by the Accountability & Services (A&S) Cabinet as a first-level review, and then by the Executive Compensation Committee (ECC) of the Board of Directors. Executive Compensation Recommendations - The President presented to the ECC recommendations and performance ratings for the EVP/COO and each of the Vice Presidents. These were approved by the ECC. This occurs annually, typically in February. Each year, the President works with the Board chair and the Executive Committee of the Board to establish annual performance goals and objectives. Once established, the President's performance is monitored by the Executive Committee. At the conclusion of the rating period, the Executive Committee is surveyed, and an overall performance rating is prepared for the President. This information is presented to the Executive Committee, who conducts an executive session during a regular meeting where they discuss and evaluate the annual performance of the President. The determination of the President's annual compensation (and bonus, if applicable) is managed by the ECC. Specifically, comparative data was obtained for the President's compensation. The ECC utilized data gathered in the last quarter of 2014 from reliable compensation sources as a benchmark in determining the President's salary relative to the competitive market. The committee used data from: * Employers Resource Association's (ERA) Executive Compensation Report, * UWW Human Capital Study on executive compensation, and * A UWW compensation survey of the top six executives from seventeen comparable United Ways. By assessing established performance measures and results achieved, and using competitive executive compensation data, the ECC prepares a recommendation for the President's total compensation package, which is then submitted to the Executive Committee for final approval. Meeting notes are taken by the chair of the HR Committee to document all discussion and recommendations made. These meeting notes are prepared and signed by the chair of the Board of Directors who also serves as the chair of the ECC. The recommendations of the ECC are presented and discussed at the next regularly scheduled meeting of the ECC in an executive session from which staff is excused. The Executive Committee meeting occurs annually, typically in March.
