Pay for Performance Programs
Improve Employee Performance and Profitability
Pay for Performance is an incentive pay system which links compensation to job performance. This pay system is highly effective in motivating employees at every level and across all industry lines.
Pay for Performance compensation can be leveraged in many ways depending on your organization’s budget and goals. When formulating a Pay for Performance plan, you’ll want to consider what your organization is looking to achieve, the frequency in which you’ll award compensation to employees, and the total increase to your overall budget to fund these programs.
Two approaches of Pay for Performance Programs are merit-based and variable pay programs. Merit-based pay compensation refers to an increase to an employee’s base pay due to high performance. These raises are usually given on an annual basis and are the most used Pay for Performance approach to recognize top performing employees. Variable pay programs utilize discretionary and non-discretionary bonuses to reward top performing employees. Unlike merit-based pay increases, bonuses from variable pay programs are usually rewarded monthly or quarterly. Often, a combination of different discretionary and non-discretionary bonuses is used to achieve the desired results.
