Distribution Rules Explained
Distribution rules determine how the award pool is split among eligible employees. Your plan uses one of these methods.
Compensation
Awards proportional to your salary/compensation. Higher paid employees get proportionally larger awards.
Example: If you earn 10% of total team comp, you get 10% of pool.
Role-Based
Different roles have different award structures. Your position determines your potential award.
Example: Technicians vs. Sales vs. Management tiers.
Even Distribution
Pool split equally among all eligible employees. Everyone gets the same amount regardless of role.
Example: $10,000 pool ÷ 10 people = $1,000 each.
Performance-Based (Custom)
Your KPI scores determine your share. Better performance = larger slice of the pool, weighted by KPI importance.
Billable Hours
Awards based on hours worked/billed. More hours = larger share. Common in service industries.
Tenure
Length of employment affects award size. Longer tenure may mean a larger multiplier.
Rating
Performance ratings factor into calculations. Higher ratings = larger awards.
