currently included in income• Broad coverage

• Approaches to establishing CEO compensation – Compensation Committee– Independent Compensation Consultant– Form 990 of Other Organizations– Written Employment Contract– Compensation Survey or Study– Approval by the Board or Compensation
Committee
![Page 13: New News in Executive Compensation and Wage and Salary … October 2008... · 2009-05-21 · Wage and Salary Market Factors • Factors Affecting Base Salary Scope of Work Recruitment,](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022040202/5e76c949045b8a09d56551f1/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
• Written policy regarding payment or reimbursement or provision of specified expenses. Does the organization have a written conflict of interest policy?
• Officers, directors or trustees, and key employees required to disclose annually interests that could give rise to conflicts and regularly and consistently monitor and enforce compliance?
• Copy of Form 990 provided governing body before it is filed?

IRS Intermediate SanctionsWhy Do We Care?
• Penalty (“Excise”) taxes on the “excess”• Personal liability• 25% tax on the recipient
– 200% if not corrected by deadline
• 10% tax on the manager(s) who “knowingly” approved the transaction, up to $20,000 aggregate
• Bad publicity
![Page 15: New News in Executive Compensation and Wage and Salary … October 2008... · 2009-05-21 · Wage and Salary Market Factors • Factors Affecting Base Salary Scope of Work Recruitment,](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022040202/5e76c949045b8a09d56551f1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Intermediate Sanctions
• Why “Intermediate”?– Gives IRS a remedy between doing nothing
and revoking Exempt status• Rule: Cannot provide “Excess Benefit” to
“Disqualified Person”• HR and Compensation professionals can
assist the Board and senior management in complying

Rebuttable Presumption of Reasonableness (Safe Harbor)
Payments are considered reasonable IF1. Advance approval by an authorized,
disinterested group of the organization.2. Appropriate comparability data is used.3. The decision is documented by the later
of 60 days or before the next meeting of the group.
Note – new Form 990 asks if this process is used
