In
researching the pay for an executive position, it's best to consult
several of the many sources of data to get a sense of the range for
the job. Don't aim for the top of the range, because there could be
unfortunate consequences if you become too expensive.
It's
relatively easy to get executive pay data for public and nonprofit
companies. Publications such as The Wall Street Journal publish
information about CEO compensation. A more detailed and more immediate
source is your company's annual meeting proxy (DEF-14A filing) if
the company is public. You can get it from your company's investor
relations department, or from Salary.com's Executive
Compensation Wizard.
If you
are researching executive pay in a not-for-profit organization, you
can call the treasurer's office and ask for an IRS Form 990.
Proxies
contain total compensation information for the top five executives
in every publicly traded organization. They disclose every
compensation and benefit program in which the CEO participates
except benefits offered to all company employees, such as medical
and disability insurance. They do so for the last three fiscal
years. Exact dollar amounts paid to the CEO and the next four
highest-paid executive officers making over $100,000 in cash
compensation are also disclosed.
You can
get this data even if you don't work for the company. The level of
information and amount of disclosure is regulated by the Securities
and Exchange Commission (SEC), so all company disclosures are
roughly comparable.
If your
company is privately held, you may not be able to find out what your
CEO makes, but you can research pay for executives of companies
similar to yours that are public.
Recruiters can be a good source of information about what the
hiring packages have been for their most recent placements. It's a
good idea to develop a relationship with one or more headhunters,
who have an incentive to share data.
Human
resource professionals know the pay within their own markets, and
venture capitalists know what they need to pay people in their
portfolio companies.
