Performance bonus examples
Performance bonuses are common outside pure sales roles, but they are often harder to understand because the payout depends on multiple KPIs, weighting rules, and performance bands.
| Example | Structure | What drives payout |
|---|---|---|
| Operations manager | 10% target bonus with safety, quality, and productivity weighting | Weighted KPI score |
| Call center lead | Bonus based on service level, QA score, and retention | Balanced scorecard |
| Project manager | Bonus tied to delivery, budget, and stakeholder satisfaction | Multi-factor review |
