THE CHALLENGE

The company had challenges in evaluating employee performance and distributing Variable Pay fairly to the deserving employees. The 3 main challenges were:

» How to calculate variable pay accurately?
» Will employees receive incentives on time?

THE NEED

The client needed an integrated solution that could review employees’ performance fairly, obtain performance scores and automatically calculate variable pay. There was a need to eliminate manager bias from variable pay calculation and process payroll accurately.

All the challenges were discussed with Empxtrack team, and within a considerable timeline, the solution was implemented.

SOLUTION

A customized, fully integrated performance appraisal and payroll solution was provided to the client that simplified setting up of mutually agreed quarterly goals in a standardized manner.

Managers got a systematic system to review employee performance based on a set of pre-defined attributes and calculate variable pay based on the scores as shown in figure 1.

**Figure 1**: The figure shows overall scores and variable pay calculated quarterly through a well-defined procedure.

**Figure 2**: Managers rate their team members on the attributes given in the form. These attributes can be easily configured as per the needs.

HR got a platform to automatically obtain performance scores and link variable pay with the scores. The system was integrated with payroll solution, and thus employee salaries were accurately disbursed.

The end-to-end integration simplified the process of linking performance to compensation. It became easy to create variable pay plans and reward top performers.
