Hazelden Betty Ford has an established process for determining the compensation of the President and CEO, other officers and key employees. The Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation by-laws delegate responsibility for determining compensation for the President and CEO, other officers and key employees to the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees. The Executive Committee approves, as necessary, the compensation philosophy for Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation. Hazelden Betty Ford has established a compensation process for executives that provides Hazelden Betty Ford with a rebuttable presumption of reasonableness as defined under Intermediate Sanction Regulations--Excess Benefit Transactions, IRS Section 4958. Each year the Board members complete a conflict of interest disclosure. The documents are reviewed by Hazelden Betty Ford's general counsel and if a Board member has a conflict of interest they are not involved in any compensation decisions. The Executive Committee in partnership with Human Resources, engages the use of an outside independent compensation consultant to identify comparable market data for comparable positions for the President and CEO and other disqualified individuals consistent with the approved compensation philosophy. Generally, the market analysis includes competitive data from published survey sources, and may be supplemented with compensation data from custom Form 990 analyses. Where possible, competitive data is pulled from organizations similar in size, revenue and industry. The compensation consultant analyzes the pay packages of the President and CEO and other disqualified individuals by reviewing base salary, total cash compensation (salary plus annual incentive at both target and actual levels). In addition, the Executive Committee reviews the total compensation package of the President and CEO and other disqualified individuals. The total compensation package includes total direct compensation plus severance, employee benefits, perquisites and any other pay. Comparable market data are reviewed and discussed by the Executive Committee and minutes record those discussions and any resulting compensation decisions. A compensation review for the President and CEO was most recently done in March 2021. The compensation review for other officers and key employees was completed in March 2021. |
