bonus structure

Extra pay system

A bonus structure is the system by which an organization determines how bonuses are calculated and distributed to employees.

It specifies the criteria—sales targets, performance metrics, company profitability—that trigger payouts and how much recipients receive: The new bonus structure ties payouts to quarterly revenue goals.

Companies may have different bonus structures for executives, salespeople, and general staff.
