Specifically, the Organization's overseas employees are periodically required to return to the United States to perform certain duties and to receive necessary respite from their overseas responsibilities. In instances where companion travel serves a bona fide business purpose of the Organization, such business purposes are documented and the cost of the travel is not included in the taxable compensation of the employee. In instances where companion travel does not serve a bona fide business purpose of the Organization, the cost of the travel is treated as additional taxable compensation to the employee. In scenarios where the cost of companion travel results in additional compensation to the Organization's CEO or to the CEO's spouse (who is also an employee of the Organization), the overall compensation is reviewed and approved by the Organization's Board pursuant to the compensation-setting procedures further described in Schedule O.
