Executive Compensation Policy and Framework BLUEWATER HEALTH

Executive Compensation Policy and Framework BLUEWATER HEALTH 1. Background The Province of Ontario introduced The Broader Public Sector Accountability Act in 2010 (BPSAA), which introduced controls on compensation, expenses, perquisites, business documents and procurement in the Broader Public Sector (BPS). This included an immediate freeze on certain executive compensation. In 2012, the Act was amended to extend the freeze to all elements of compensation for designated executives. This 2012 amendment was made to apply until a new provincial compensation framework for the BPS becomes effective. The BPSAA applied to all public designated employers including universities, colleges, hospitals and school boards. This included Bluewater Health. Executive compensation has been frozen since 2010 7 years. In 2014, the Province began the process of developing public sector compensation frameworks to manage executive compensation in the BPS. The Broader Public Sector Executive Compensation Act of 2014 (BPSECA) authorized the government to establish frameworks, and set out principles that all designated employers must follow. These included ensuring that there is a consistent and evidencebased approach to setting compensation, ensuring that there is a balance between managing compensation costs while allowing employers to attract and retain the talent they seek, and ensuring that there is transparency in how executive compensation decisions are made. Following consultation with multiple stakeholders in the BPS, in 2016 the Province introduced Ontario Regulation 304/16 in support of the BPSECA, effective September 6, 2016. This Regulation lays out the details and implementation timelines for executive compensation for all employers within the BPS. The Regulation states that all BPS employers must have a compensation framework in place for designated executives. The framework must be compliant with the Regulation, and have been available for community feedback for a thirty-day period. The requirements of the BPSECA and Ontario Regulation 304/16 have been considered, and the following Policy developed to ensure that Bluewater Health is compliant with the requirements. 2. Description of Hospital and Role of the Executive Team Bluewater Health is located in Ontario within the Erie St. Clair Local Health Integration Network and encompasses Bluewater Health located in Sarnia, and Charlotte Eleanor Englehart Hospital of Bluewater Health located in Petrolia. Our staff, physicians and volunteers number nearly 2,500, making Bluewater Health Sarnia-Lambton s largest public-sector employer. At Bluewater Health, the Senior Leadership Team is accountable for a budget of approximately $177,000,000, across two campuses in Sarnia and Petrolia. The Team provides strategic leadership so the organization can achieve four key priorities set out in the strategic plan - Quality Care, Exceptional Relationships, Outstanding Performance, Inspired People driving innovation to assure community members receive the right care, in the right place, at the right time by the right provider. 3. Designated Executives Positions J u l y 2 8, 2 0 1 7 P a g e 1

The Executive Compensation Regulation applies to all designated executives and all designated employers under the BPSECA. Designated employers include public hospitals. Designated executives are individuals who meet two criteria. First, the person is the head of a designated employer regardless of title; or is a vice-president, chief administrative officer, chief operating officer or any other executive regardless of title. Second, the person is entitled to receive or could potentially receive $100,000 or more in cash compensation in a given calendar year. Total cash compensation includes base salary and any pay for performance. At Bluewater Health, the designated executives include the following positions: President & Chief Executive Officer; Chief of Professional Staff; Chief Nursing Executive; Vice President, Operations (2 positions); Chief, Communications & Public Affairs; Integrated Vice-President, Mental Health & Addictions Bluewater Health, Canadian Mental Health Association Lambton Kent For summary job descriptions for each position, please see the Appendix. 4. Compensation Philosophy Bluewater Health has a long, rich, public legacy of care in the communities it serves, and is Sarnia-Lambton s largest public-sector employer. The work at the hospital touches the lives of the thousands of people each year. The Executive Compensation Program is designed to be competitive in attracting and retaining the talent necessary to continue this legacy and support achievement of the hospital s strategic and operational goals. The ECP recognizes the performance of executives in achieving provincially set quality indicators, attainment of the Quality Improvement Plan, and meeting the H-SAA (Hospital Service Accountability Agreement) responsibilities, to optimize better health outcomes and experiences. The Executive Compensation Program enables Bluewater Health to retain leaders who will drive the Hospital s commitment to: Quality Care assuring the right care, in the right place, at the right time, by the right provider; Outstanding Performance optimizing roles, resources, revenues, technology and innovation; Exceptional Relationships expanding innovative partnerships and collaborations to improve experiences, services, transitions and community health; Inspired People advancing the hospital s culture of kindness with an intention to learn, lead, collaborate and celebrate. The Executive Compensation Program at Bluewater Health shall meet the following goals: The compensation program shall meet all legislative requirements including, but not limited to the Broader Public Sector Accountability Act, Broader Public Sector Executive Compensation Act, Excellent Care for All Act, Employment Standards Act and Pay Equity Act. The compensation program will always be maintained within the financial means of Bluewater Health. The compensation program shall accurately and equitably assess the internal value of a role. J u l y 2 8, 2 0 1 7 P a g e 2

The compensation program shall be competitive to the market. The comparator market is detailed in the section titled External Comparator Organizations. The compensation program shall provide for the attraction, retention and motivation of the high performing executives required to meet the strategic goals of the organization by being competitive to the market, compensating for the value of a role and recognizing performance. The compensation program shall provide designated executives with 2% performance pay for achieving annual performance expectations related to the organization s Quality Improvement Plan (QIP), Strategic Plan and Operating Plan. The maximum amount of salary and performance pay that may be paid to a Bluewater Health designated executive shall be at the 50th percentile of comparator organizations who have positions comparable to the position held by the designated executive. 5. External Comparator Organizations As per the Regulations, organizations are to select a minimum of eight (8) comparators. An organization may be selected as a comparator organization if: The potential comparator organization has at least one executive who holds a position comparable to the position or class of positions held by the designated executive or class of designated executives; and The organization is comparable to the designated employer with respect to most or all of the following factors: (a) the scope of responsibilities of the executives; (b) the type of operations; (c) the industries within which the organization competes for executives; (d) size; and (e) location. In determining the external comparator organizations for Bluewater Health, the following was given consideration for the five factors: a) Scope of Responsibilities Comparator organizations were selected that had executive positions with similar responsibilities, competencies (knowledge, skill and abilities), relative complexity and level of accountability to those at Bluewater Health.The positions are responsible for the development and implementation of the strategic and operational plans for the delivery of excellent patient care. The comparator positions that were selected have substantially similar accountabilities to the job summaries outlined in the Appendix. From this perspective, the same comparator organizations are used for the President & CEO, VP Operations and CNE positions. Different comparator organizations were selected for the Chief of Professional Staff, VP Mental Health and Chief Communications & Public Affairs because many hospitals of a similar size and complexity do not have this role as a designated executive. b) Type of Operations From an operational perspective, the primary factors that were considered in selecting the comparator organizations was the hospital type and number of sites as well as community hospitals like Bluewater Health which tend to have similar programs, services and operations. Also considered was comparators that operate in rural and urban settings and act as a lead agency for health care in the community, similar to Bluewater Health. Furthermore, operating a multi-site hospital has greater complexity than single site hospitals. Therefore, additional weight was given to hospitals with more than one site like Bluewater Health which operates from two sites. c) Industry The majority of talent recruited for executive positions at Bluewater Health have a healthcare background. Therefore, public hospitals in Ontario were considered for selection of J u l y 2 8, 2 0 1 7 P a g e 3

comparators. d) Size When assessing the size of potential comparator organizations, primary consideration was given to total operating budget (revenue) and number of staff, with secondary consideration being given to the number of beds operated by the comparator hospitals. e) Location Bluewater Health operates within the Erie St. Clair LHIN. One similar sized hospital within the Erie St. Clair LHIN is considered to be a good comparator. Given the lack of appropriate comparators within a close geographic proximity along with the mobility of talent and the number of personal factors that can influence where people live and work, consideration was given to similar hospitals (based on size, operations and complexity) throughout Ontario. Also, there is a limited supply of qualified candidates in the Sarnia area which makes it challenging to recruit executives. Comparators were selected who have similar challenges. The comparator organizations for Bluewater Health represent a combined analysis for the factors above, and are as follows: President & Chief Executive Officer Vice President Operations Chief Nursing Executive Hospital Operating Number # of Organization Name Type LHIN Budget of Beds # of Staff Sites Bluewater Health Community Erie St. Clair $177 M 320 1,577 2 Orillia Soldiers Memorial Hospital Community North Simcoe Muskoka $127 M 230 1,000-1,999 1 Chatham Kent Health Alliance Community Erie St. Clair $140 M 200-299 1,350 2 Huron Perth Health Alliance Community South West $132 M 100-199 1,000-1,999 4 Sault Area Hospital Community North East $205 M 293 1,850 2 Guelph General Hospital Community Waterloo Wellington $142 M 182 1,300 1 Queensway Carleton Hospital Community Champlain $200 M 264 1,955 1 North Bay Regional Health Centre Community North East $249 M 401 > 2,000 1 Quinte Healthcare Community South East $196 M 265 1,700 4 Cambridge Memorial Hospital Community Waterloo Wellington $127 M 100-199 1,100 1 Brant Community Healthcare System Community Hamilton Niagara Haldimand Brant $166 M 262 1,000-1,999 2 Joseph Brant Hospital Community Hamilton Niagara Haldimand Brant $153 M 200-299 1,400 1 Chief of Professional Staff J u l y 2 8, 2 0 1 7 P a g e 4

Salary and Performance-related Pay Envelope The following outlines how the new salary grids will be implemented with current designated executives and how it impacts the salary and performance-related pay envelope. Note that the Chief of Professional Staff salary is prorated based on annual time worked in the position. The maximum increase provided to those below the new salary and performance pay maximum is 5%. All other increases are below 5% and based on achieving the salary and performance pay maximum. The total proposed increase to the salary and performance-related pay envelope is 3.54%. In proposing this increase to the salary and performance-related pay envelope, the Board considered the five factors articulated in the Directive, which are summarized below. J u l y 2 8, 2 0 1 7 P a g e 9

Financial and compensation priorities of the Ontario government. The Ontario government has approved a balanced budget in 2017-18 for the first time since 2008-09. We are encouraged and supportive of the government s balanced budget as it will provide a solid foundation as we collaborate to transform health care delivery. Compensation trends. According to the Ontario Ministry of Labour, the 11-year average from 2006 to 2016 of the annual wage base increase for the provincial public sector was 1.82%. Most of these employees also receive annual increases for progress-through-the-ranks up to the maximum of their salary ranges. Proportion of the operating budget used for executive compensation. On the budget of $177 million, Bluewater Health spent less than one percent (0.77%) on executive compensation. With the proposed increase, the amount will remain below one percent (0.79%). Impact of salary compression on attracting and retaining talent. In 2016, at Bluewater Health, there were two (2) Director positions being paid above at least one designated executive. Further a number of the designated executive positions have a salary that is less than 10% higher than the Directors that report to them. This lends itself to challenges in attracting individuals into the designated executive positions, which have significantly greater responsibility and accountability without the corresponding compensation. Expansion in the operations. Compensation of designated executives has been frozen at Bluewater Health since 2010. The hospital is expanding into the community with the addition of a bedded residential withdrawal management service. Furthermore, the strategic plan has necessitated all executives concentrating more on our community partners in order to drive system transformation. This added complexity is in addition to maintaining service volumes and wait times at the hospital, in spite of several years of funding reductions.

Other Elements of Compensation Health Care & Dental Benefits Health Care Spending Account Life Insurance and Disability HOOPP Vacation Sick Leave The benefits provided to the designated executives and directors will be aligned within 3 years of implementation of the Executive Compensation Framework, as per the regulations. The President & CEO receives a car allowance of $750/month because the position is required to use a personal vehicle in the performance of job duties, particularly to travel between sites. This allowance is in lieu of any mileage or expense payments for use of the employee s vehicle on hospital business for local travel. Local travel shall be any business travel which is less than 100 km one way from Bluewater Health s Sarnia location. The two locations are approximately 30 km apart, one of which is in a rural setting, and the LHIN is a 80 km drive away. There is no public transportation available at all to travel between the two locations. J u l y 2 8, 2 0 1 7 P a g e 11
