FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11B THE FORM IS REVIEWED BY THE FINANCE COMMITTEE BEFORE IT IS SIGNED AND FILED. FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12C ALL BOARD AND STAFF ARE REQUIRED TO SIGN A CONFLICT OF INTEREST STATEMENT AND PROMISE TO RECUSE THEMSELVES FROM DISCUSSIONS REGARDING ANY ENTITIES BY NOTING THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST, LEAVING THE ROOM DURING DECISION-MAKING DISCUSSIONS AND REQUESTING THAT ABSTENTION FROM VOTES IS NOTED IN THE MINUTES OF THE MEETING REFLECTING THOSE DISCUSSIONS. FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15 COMPENSATION MANAGEMENT IS THE PROCESS BY WHICH EMPLOYERS DETERMINE THE APPROPRIATE AMOUNT OF MONETARY AND NON-MONETARY COMPENSATION THAT THEIR EMPLOYEES RECEIVE. IT'S A CRITICAL COMPONENT OF TALENT ACQUISITION, PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT, AND EMPLOYEE RETENTION. DURING A COMPENSATION REVIEW, COMPANY LEADERSHIP ANALYZES ALL THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF COMPENSATION THEY OFFER, AND HOW THAT COMPENSATION IS ALLOCATED - TO ENSURE THAT THEIR TOTAL COMPENSATION PACKAGE IS COMPETITIVE AND FULFILLS THE GOALS OF COMPENSATION MANAGEMENT. SETTING PAY RANGES OR SALARY GRADES IS DESIGNED TO REMOVE SOME OF THE "GUESS WORK" FROM DETERMINING PAY FOR POSITIONS, AS WELL AS PUTTING IN PLACE A FRAMEWORK THAT ENSURES FAIRNESS AND LIMITS DISCRIMINATION BY GROUPING TOGETHER POSITIONS BASED ON THE SKILLS REQUIRED AND THE VALUE TO THE ORGANIZATION. SETTING SALARY GRADES: * GROUP POSITIONS BASED ON SKILLS REQUIRED, EDUCATION REQUIRED, JOB DUTIES, AMOUNT OF RESPONSIBILITY AND AUTHORITY, ETC. (THIS MEANS WE COULD HAVE DIFFERENT TITLES IN THE SAME PAY GRADE, SUCH AS COORDINATOR, NAVIGATOR AND ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT.) * BENCHMARK BY REPRESENTATIVE SAMPLE WHAT THE EXISTING PAY RANGES IN THE INDUSTRY ARE, CONSIDERING THE AREA OF THE COUNTRY, COMPARATIVE COST OF LIVING, ETC. * DETERMINE THE MID-POINT OF THE RANGE * CONSTRUCT A PAY GRADE THAT HAS A 20% DROP TO THE MINIMUM, AND A 20% INCREASE TO THE MAXIMUM. (THIS ALLOWS FOR FLEXIBILITY IN PAY BASED ON YEARS OF EXPERIENCE, OPTIONAL ADVANCED EDUCATION, ETC.) * A NEW EMPLOYEE, BASED ON THEIR QUALIFICATIONS, WILL LIKELY BE OFFERED LESS THAN THE MIDPOINT TO START, BUT THE GOAL IS THE GET THEM TO THE MIDPOINT AS QUICKLY AS THEIR PERFORMANCE (AND OUR BUDGET) ALLOWS. * AFTER REACHING THE MID-POINT, INCREASES TYPICALLY SLOW DOWN UNTIL THE EMPLOYEE GETS TO THE MAXIMUM, WHEN THEY BECOME "RED-LINED AND CAN'T GET ANY MORE INCREASES UNLESS THEY TAKE ON NEW DUTIES. * SALARY GRADES ARE REVIEWED REGULARLY TO REFLECT THE INFLATION OF WAGES.
