The CEO pay rate aims to ensure that organizations have fair pay structures and it provides insights into the level of income inequality within the organization, specifically focusing on the compensation of top management compared to the rest of the workforce. Annual total compensation includes salary, bonus, stock awards, option awards, non-equity incentive plan compensation, change in pension value, and nonqualified deferred compensation earnings provided over the course of a year.
