        <Explanation>Process of Determining Compensation - A Salary Administration Program has been developed by American Farm Bureau Federation for the administration of pay decisions to ensure that employees covered by the program are paid according to fair, equitable and uniform principles. This program has been adopted by the organizations board of directors. In mid-October, Human Resources prepares a report, by department, that includes the following: Current Salary Current Grade Midpoint of Grade % - Current Salary to Midpoint Columns are added for the addition of Recommended Increases and formulas for a new Salary and new % of Salary to Midpoint. The spreadsheet is then sent to the Executive Vice President. Midpoint is determined by the current salary structure. The ranges are reviewed each year and may be shifted in accordance with salary survey data provided each year by PriceWaterhouseCoopers. We ask for data on expected salary increases for the next year and expected shifts in salary grades. The Executive Vice President gives Human Resources an allowance for each department's salary increases. This is generally in the form of a percent of current total salaries for the department. Human Resources includes the number in the spreadsheet, breaks out each department's information, then sends the appropriate report to each Department Manager along with instructions and deadlines for completion. Department Managers complete the spreadsheet with their recommendations for employee salary increases and return it to Human Resources. Human Resources reviews the recommendations and makes notes for the Executive Vice President review. The notes might include drawing his attention to matters of internal equity, or salary history (like if an employee was promoted and had a recent salary increase). The Executive Vice President may follow up with the Department Manager for further explanations and make changes. Once the document is finalized, Human Resources provides an updated copy for Executive Vice President's signature. Copies are given then to the Director of Accounting and Payroll for their files. The employee's compensation is included in the yearly budget process which is reviewed and approved by the board of directors. The President's compensation is determined by the Executive Committee of the organization and is reported to the board of directors during the budget approval process.</Explanation>
