Cross Country Healthcare
Administrative Rules for Incentive Compensation Plans
(Effective June 1, 2024)
These Administrative Rules (“Rules”) apply to all incentive compensation plans (the “Plans”) maintained by Cross Country Healthcare and its affiliates (“Cross Country”). Cross Country maintains several incentive plans for the benefit of its employees. These Rules are designed to provide an administrative structure that applies to all of the Plans, while giving individual business units or personnel groups the ability to structure the calculation of its incentives to meet their specific needs.
1. Rules Prevail over Individual Plans. To the extent there is any conflict between any of these Rules and any Plan, these Rules shall apply unless the Plan has language to expressly state that the Plan prevails. Approval of the Chief Financial Officer of Cross Country must be obtained in order for an individual Plan to override any of these Rules. These Rules supersede the rules of any prior variable compensation plan that an employee was previously compensated under.
2. Incentive Calculations. In the event any incentive award in any Plan is based on a percentage of salary, the employee’s actual annual (or, as applicable, quarterly or monthly) base salary earnings will be used in the calculation of the incentive amounts. Incentive award payments will be rounded up to the next full dollar denomination, as appropriate.
3. Termination of Employment. No incentive award is paid unless the employee is actively employed with Cross Country when the payment is made; except that awards may be paid (a) if the Plan states that an employee is not required to be actively employed with Cross Country at the time of the payment or (b) payment of the incentive is required by applicable law, including compliance with any minimum wage laws.
4. Leaves of Absence. Where an employee is absent for any part of a Plan’s incentive period, as a result of an approved leave of absence, any payment made under a Plan will be pro-rated to reflect the proportion of the Plan’s incentive period worked in active employment.
5. Newly Eligible Employees. If an employee becomes eligible for participation in a Plan as a new hire or through a transfer to a new position during any performance period, the employee may be permitted to participate upon gaining eligibility for such Plan and any payment made under the Plan will be pro-rated to reflect the proportion of the Plan’s incentive period during which the employee worked after becoming eligible.
6. Employees Who Transfer to New Position within Cross Country. An employee who, during any time period during which an incentive is calculated, transfers from one position to another position within Cross Country that is under a different incentive program shall be eligible to receive pro- rated awards under each respective incentive plan, based on the amount of time that the employee spends working under each Plan during the relevant calculation periods. These rules shall also apply if a different Plan is implemented for an employee who has not transferred to a new position, although it is the desire of Cross Country to only change or substitute incentive plans to coincide with the end or beginning of an incentive calculation period.
7. Timing of Incentive Payments. Payment under a Plan will generally be made (a) for annual incentive awards, 2½ months after the end of the Plan year; or (b) for quarterly or monthly incentive awards, as set forth in the Plan.
8. Tax Withholding. Any payment under a Plan will be subject to applicable deductions or withdrawals as required or authorized by law, including without limitation federal, state and/or local taxes and deductions authorized by the employees or otherwise allowed in compliance with applicable law.
9. Application of Rules to Individual Employees. To the extent permitted by applicable law, these Rules and the terms of any Plan may be applied differently for different employees in relation to the same or similar events.
10. Amendments to Individual Plans. An individual Plan may be modified prospectively only, and any modification must be effective as of the following January 1 unless consent of the Chief Financial Officer of Cross Country is obtained in advance.
11. No Employment Rights or Contract. Participation in any Plan is not to be considered an employment and/or contractual agreement. Nothing in any Plan confers on any person any right to continued employment or to receive an incentive award.
12. Interpretations of Plans. Interpretations, determinations, and actions regarding a Plan’s administration, eligibility and incentive calculations shall be made by an individual or committee designated by Cross Country for each Plan and shall be binding on all employees or beneficiaries unless such interpretation or determination is arbitrary and capricious.
13. No Trust Created. Nothing in these Rules or any Plan shall be construed as giving any employee or his or her legal representative, or designated beneficiary, any claim against any specific assets of Cross Country as imposing any trustee relationship upon Cross Country in respect of the employee or his or her beneficiary. Cross Country shall not be required to segregate any assets in order to provide for the satisfaction of the obligations hereunder. If and to the extent that an employee or his or her legal representative or designated beneficiary acquires a right to receive any payment pursuant to a Plan, such right shall be no greater than the right of an unsecured general creditor of Cross Country.
14. Governing Law. These Rules and the Plans, and the granting of payouts, shall be subject to all applicable federal and state laws, rules and regulations, and to such approvals by any regulatory or governmental agency as may be required. The laws of the State of Florida shall apply to these Rules and the Plans.
15. No assignment of Benefits. An employee’s rights and interests under a Plan, including any payment previously made to such person or any amounts payable under a Plan may not be assigned, pledged, or transferred, except in the event of the employee's death, to a designated beneficiary in accordance with a Plan, or in the absence of such designation, to the employee’s estate.
16. Code Section 409A. It is intended that any payments under each incentive plan be exempt from the application of Code Section 409A as short-term deferrals under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4). In the event that any payout does not qualify for treatment as a short-term deferral, it is intended that such amount will be paid in a manner that satisfies the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. These Rules and each individual Plan shall be interpreted and construed accordingly. To the extent that any payment under an incentive plan is deferred by the employee to a non-qualified deferred compensation plan that is subject to Code Section 409A, payment of those amounts will be determined under the rules of that plan.
17. Overpayments of Incentives. In the event Cross Country determines that any payment pursuant to a Plan was incorrect due to a miscalculation of financial results or other performance criteria or due to misrepresentation or other misconduct by an employee, Cross Country has the authority in its sole discretion to recoup any amount overpaid as a result of such miscalculation, including through a reduction in future payments of incentives or other compensation, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
18. Confidentiality. These Rules and the Plans are confidential information. Any disclosure, distribution, copying or use of these Rules or a Plan document other than for use in Cross Country’s business is strictly prohibited. Employees who make improper use or disclosure of the Rules or a Plan document are subject to discipline including termination. In addition, Cross Country may bring legal action to protect its interests against those who misappropriate confidential information, including employees, former employees and other third parties.
19. Right to Amend Rules. Cross Country may amend these Rules at any time by written action of its Chief Financial Officer.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, these Rules have been adopted by Cross Country, effective as of June 1, 2024.
Company equipment(laptop, monitor, keyboard, mouse headset) will be provided directly to you for use during employment.
