Year-end bonus
Our company’s policy gives the executive team the ability to decide on year-end bonuses for all
employees. There are two conditions for this bonus:
If these two conditions are satisfied, then our company will give bonuses to employees who:
Are employed by our company on the day when the bonus must be paid.
Employees who were employed by our company for the entire year will receive a year-end
bonus payment of [10%] of their annual salary.
Employees who are employed for at least [six] months will receive a prorated amount.
Employees who are employed for fewer than [six months] will receive a [2.5%] bonus.
Our company may set up incentive plans at the beginning of each year. These plans may involve:
Incentive bonuses to encourage employees to achieve annual company financial goals. These
are company-wide bonuses that may be announced at the beginning of the year by senior
leaders. [These bonuses may be calculated with a tiered system (e.g. 5% for hitting 80% of the
goal, 10% for hitting the goal and 20% for exceeding the goal.)] HR should give a formal payout
plan to each employee.
Incentive bonuses for achieving or exceeding individual and team targets. Department Heads
are responsible for formulating these plans and setting specific goals. For example, they may
decide to pay a quarterly bonus (a percentage of individual sales) to sales teams that exceed
their sales or revenue targets. Department Heads should submit their plan to HR and the CEO for
approval [within the first quarter of the year.]
