 for which we provide work schedule flexibility to accommodate individual personal schedules. For fiscal 2024, we used the same median employee identified in fiscal 2022, which was determined based on gross base wages and target incentive potential (“total cash compensation”) for the twelve-month period ending September 29, 2024 for all full-time and part-time employees, other than Mr. Harris, who were employed by the Company on such date. We did not annualize pay for employees employed for less than the full fiscal year. Our median employee is a restaurant Team Leader who worked an average of 27.8 hours per week in fiscal 2024. We used the same methodology to determine the annual total compensation of our median employee for the twelve-month period ending September 29, 2024 as we used for our NEOs, as set forth in the Summary Compensation Table for fiscal 2024. 55 JACK IN THE BOX INC. | 2025 PROXY STATEMENT
