Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 The Executive Director of PIDS ERF is actually employed by IDSA and contracted out to PIDS ERF (through PIDS, a related organization) at actual costs; thus, IDSA's compensation process is used in regards to establishing the compensation of PIDS ERF's Executive Director. This process is as follows: All new employees will receive an initial performance review within three to six months of the date of hire. The date of the initial performance review will be determined at the three month anniversary date, even if the actual review occurs later in the three to six month period. After that, employee performance will be reviewed at least once a year on or about the employee's anniversary date. Performance evaluation is based on quality/quantity of work, technical competence, responsibility and judgment, initiative and adaptability, dependability, cooperation, attendance, punctuality, attitude, and quality of performance. All of these are principal factors in considering salary and any compensation adjustments. Compensation surveys and Board approval are utilized for the Executive Director's compensation; management approves the compensation of other employees.
