The firm utilizes an Executive Compensation database to conduct peer competitive reviews of compensation packages. This database service is provided by our partner salary.com. The ecomponline.com database provides access to over 50,000 executives' compensation information from over 12,000 U.S. publicly traded companies' proxy statements, 10-K's and Registration Statements. The data is collected and updated on a daily basis.
The detailed breakdown of a standard executive compensation survey can include the following data points: cash compensation, bonus, restricted stock awards, long term compensation, long term incentives, options granted, exercisable and unexercisable options held, and miscellaneous compensation.
The firm utilizes this important information to create a competitive picture of compensation packages being offer to executives in the particular grouping. This information is critical to the negotiation process. In the absence of such information, the client will be guessing as to what is a competitive compensation package. The competitive peer group research compares compensation among a specific industry groupings, and it is not an exact science due to the variants in market capitalization, overall revenue and number of employees in the grouping.
