Compensation Break-up Amount
Compensation $125,000 p.a., paid semi-monthly
Bonus $30,000; based on plan
Stock Option 10,000 Stocks @ $2.7 each based on vesting schedule

Benefits:

Dues & Licenses 100% on actual basis
Rationale:
Compensation
Amount: $125,000
Rationale: Salaries offered at HBS are in the competitive range. We have assigned Monroe’s
compensation according to 75th % base salary figure of health-related service industry
because Monroe is a dedicated candidate and made quite an impression on Jim Hummer and
other senior management team. Apart from being a Harvard scholar, Monroe has passion and
drive, as Jim himself pointed out, and by asking for a higher compensation, he can establish
himself as a calculated risk-taker. Therefore, the higher compensation is justified.
Bonus
Amount: $30,000 based on agreed upon goals
Rationale: The agreed upon goals would ascribe to 3 roles specified-
The bonus is equally divided amongst all the goals as they carry equal weightage.
Stock Option
Amount: 10,000 Stocks @ $2.7
Rationale: As per the company standard equity plan, incoming executives are eligible for
10,000 stock options. Also, it is mentioned that the company might grow 3 folds by the year
end and Monroe would want to invest in the firm’s equity. Further, being in a leadership role
he would like to hold more stakes in the company.
Relocation Allowance
Amount: Up to $ 5,000
Rationale: Expenses incurred by Monroe for relocating from Boston to Cleveland would be
reimbursed by the company up to $5,000. Based on the comparison made on cost of moving[1]
by referencing national standards in 2006, we estimate the relocation expense to be
approximately $5,000. Moreover, Cleveland is cheaper as compared to Boston, hence the
overall cost of living would also be lesser.
