Step 6 · Hours Eligibility Tiers

Bonus % each employee receives based on % of required hours worked. Edit the multiplier (keep as decimal 0.0–1.0).

Hours Band	Multiplier	= % Bonus
>95% of required hours		100%
90–95% of required hours		90%
85–90% of required hours		80%
80–85% of required hours		70%
75–80% of required hours		60%
70–75% of required hours		50%
65–70% of required hours		40%
40–65% of required hours		30%
20–40% of required hours		20%
<20% of required hours		0%

Step 7 · Tenure Bonus Tiers

Weight each employee's share by tenure. Must total 100%. Tenure is auto-calculated from hire date.

Tenure Band	Weight %
3–6 months	%
6–12 months	%
12+ months	%

Tenure tiers must total 100%

How Tenure Weighting Works

Tenure % acts as a weighting multiplier in the bonus distribution formula:

Bonus = (BaseBonus × TenureWeight) / Σ(BaseBonus × TenureWeight) × Pool

A 12+ month employee (45%) receives proportionally more than a 3–6 month employee (20%) with the same hours performance.

Step 8–9 · Employee Bonus Calculations

Enter employee name, hire date (YYYY/MM/DD), and total hours worked in the period (including PTO: sick, vacation, CE, stat holidays). Tenure and bonus amounts auto-calculate.

Incentive Program Policy

To qualify for a bonus, the team must achieve specific performance goals set for the period (month, quarter, or year). Team performance is measured against these targets at the end of each period. Bonuses are awarded only if the total achieved rate for the period is at least equal to the configured trigger percentage. No bonuses will be awarded if the total achieved rate falls below this threshold.

Eligibility Rules:

Members who leave the company during the period are not eligible for bonuses.
Paid Time Off (PTO) for sick leave, annual leave, and continuing education (CE) is included in total hours worked.
Unpaid PTO is not included in total hours worked.
Minimum of 3 months tenure required to participate.

Performance Threshold:
The performance threshold is established at the beginning of each year and remains fixed throughout the year. This provides clear and consistent targets for the team, ensuring that goals reflect continuous improvements in performance without being adjusted upward for each period.

Employer Cost Base = Annual pay + employer FICA (US) or CPP/EI (Canada)
Milestone Bonus = Employer Cost Base × milestone %
Weekly Fund = Unfunded upcoming bonus ÷ weeks until due
The practice currency controls whether US FICA or Canada CPP/EI is applied.
