Noticeably absent from the article is any mention if the President, Vice Presidents, Officers, or other key staff have voluntarily reduced their pay, so it is unknown if any senior level paycuts were implemented.
By looking at the most recent IRS Form 990 available for Meritus at the Foundation Center, it is revealed that the Presidents', Vice Presidents', and Directors' compensation combined equal a sum greater than $4.2 million dollars in 2011.
When combining the compensation of James Hamill, the former President/CEO, with the compensation of Joseph Ross, the current President/CEO, Meritus and related organizations paid to its President a total compensation of $981,711.
The total compensation of Vice Presidents, including former Vice President Michael Zampelli, in 2011 was $2,345,731.
The directors* of Meritus who are paid (not all of the directors are compensated) totals to $958,041.
The grand total for Meritus' senior staff who are a President, Vice President, or Director* for 2011 was $4,285,483.
Also of interest is that the IRS Form 990 states that in 2011 Meritus employed 152 individuals who were compensated $100,000 or more per year.
