Performance Incentive Compensation Prepayments

Performance incentive compensation will be prepaid each calendar to be applied against the annual performance incentive compensation when payable.  This prepayment will be calculated as follows:

First Quarter – a prepayment of the performance incentive compensation will be earned and payable by a comparison of the Board approved budget for the first quarter to the actual result for the first quarter.  With regard to the accounting incentives, the total achievable performance target will be adjusted for the first quarter target when calculating quarterly payment.  For the AR incentive, the performance target will be calculated by using the total achievable note updated for the 1st quarter results. For the SOX incentives the rate used will be the prior year deficiencies until year-end when the final updated rate will be determined. For the Centralization and IT Incentives, compensation will be calculated based on achievement of each individual objective.  The prepayment will be 15% of the performance incentive compensation which will be earned for the full year if this percentage achievement of the targets is maintained for the full year.

Second Quarter – a prepayment of the performance incentive compensation will be earned and payable by a comparison of the Board approved budget for the first and second quarters to the actual result for the first and second quarters.  With regard to the accounting incentives, the total achievable performance target will be adjusted for the first quarter target when calculating quarterly payment.  For the AR incentive, the performance target will be calculated by using the total achievable note updated for the 1st quarter results. For the SOX incentives the rate used will be the prior year deficiencies until year-end when the final updated rate will be determined.  For the Centralization and IT Incentives, compensation will be calculated based on achievement of each individual objective.  The prepayment will be 30% of the performance incentive compensation which will be earned for the full year if this percentage achievement of the targets is maintained for the full year less the amount of the prepayment paid for the first quarter.

Third Quarter – a prepayment of the performance incentive compensation will be earned and payable by a comparison of the Board approved budget for the first, second and third quarters to the actual result for the first, second and third quarters.  With regard to the accounting incentives, the total achievable performance target will be adjusted for the first quarter target when calculating quarterly payment.  For the AR incentive, the performance target will be calculated by using the total achievable note updated for the 1st quarter results. For the SOX incentives the rate used will be the prior year deficiencies until year-end when the final updated rate will be determined.  For the Centralization and IT Incentives, compensation will be calculated based on achievement of each individual objective.  The prepayment will be 45% of the performance incentive compensation which will be earned for the full year if this percentage achievement of the targets is maintained for the full year less the amount of the prepayment paid for the first and second quarters.

If at the conclusion of any calendar quarter, the performance incentive compensation prepayment due to an employee is negative as a result of subtracting the prepayments paid in previous quarters and the amount exceeds $25,000, the company will recover this overpayment by deducting this amount from payroll paid in accordance with the company’s normal payroll practices.
