Process for Determining Compensation

The role of our Compensation Committee is to oversee our executive plans and policies, administer our equity plans, and approve all compensation for our named executive officers. Our Compensation Committee generally seeks input from our Chief Executive Officer when discussing executive performance and compensation levels for named executive officers (other than his own compensation). Our Chief Legal Officer has the responsibility of advising the Compensation Committee and coordinating with any third-party compensation advisers. The Compensation Committee also works with our Chief Financial Officer to evaluate the financial, accounting and tax implications of compensation actions. None of our named executive officers participates in deliberations regarding his or her own compensation. Our Compensation Committee deliberates and determines compensation decisions related to our Chief Executive Officer in executive session, outside of the presence of the Chief Executive Officer.

The Compensation Committee oversees the executive compensation program and determines compensation for the Company’s executive officers. The Compensation Committee recognizes that, from time to time, it is appropriate to enter into compensatory agreements with key executives, and has done so with each of our named executive officers. Through these agreements, ASGN seeks to further motivate such individuals, retain their services, and secure confidentiality and non-solicitation obligations, applicable both during and after their employment. These compensatory agreements include executive employment agreements and severance arrangements.

Compensation Consultant. In 2024, the Compensation Committee retained Semler Brossy as its independent compensation consultant. The Compensation Committee has assessed the independence of Semler Brossy pursuant to SEC and NYSE rules and concluded that no conflict of interest exists that would prevent Semler Brossy from independently representing the Compensation Committee
