(1) Total compensation of an owner or relative of an owner shall be limited to ordinary compensation for necessary services actually performed.

     (a) Compensation is ordinary if it is the amount usually paid for comparable services in a comparable facility to an unrelated employee, and does not exceed limits set out in this chapter.

     (b) A service is necessary if it is related to patient care and would have had to be performed by another person if the owner or relative had not done it.

     (2) The contractor, in maintaining customary time records adequate for audit, shall include such records for owners and relatives who receive compensation.
