Creating bonus guidelines
Guidelines for employee bonus payments establish clear and fair criteria for determining when and how bonuses are awarded to the team.

Guidelines ensure that bonuses are distributed equitably based on predetermined factors such as individual or team achievements, company profits or other measurable goals to avoid the risk of discrimination claims.
