Hi Abi,

Performance-based pay is a form of compensation that is linked to the employee's performance rather than their experience. This type of pay structure offers several advantages:

1. Pay is determined by the skills and knowledge the employee possesses, rather than solely on their experience.
2. Performance-based pay encourages employees to improve their knowledge and skills.
3. Compensation varies from person to person and is not tied to the organizational structure.

Perhaps my response has provided some insight.

Hi Abi,

Just to elaborate on what Jayavelka has mentioned: Performance-based pay is based on your performance on the job and is generally not fixed; it is variable in nature. As rightly pointed out, it is solely based on your performance and your potential for performance rather than on your experience. To introduce a performance-based pay system in your organization, it is very important to have a robust system to capture performance.

I hope I have helped you.

Hi,

Adding to Shweta's comments, performance-linked pay is the result of your Performance Appraisal process. The objectives set are measured against the results achieved. In an organization where the individual KRAs are linked to the business objectives, this will very clearly entail understanding the individual contribution of the employee to the organization's plans and success.

As pointed out by all, this is not fixed in nature. In India, the senior management team's variable pay is accounted for around 20-25% of their CTC, as per my knowledge. This percentage goes down with levels going down.

As very rightly pointed out by Shweta, the quality of performance-based pay is directly linked to the PMS adopted by the organization. The transparency and objectivity of measuring the performance will be deciding factors for a successful performance-related pay.
