Bonus & Incentive Guidelines
Main content start
Bonuses and incentives are additional ways to reward your employees for outstanding performance.
- Bonuses can be used to recognize exceptional contributions and sustained outstanding performance.
- Incentives can be used to recognize the accomplishment of specific goals that are formally communicated at the beginning of a project or performance cycle including measurable results and target award amounts.
Reward Your Employees
Managers should consult with their local HR manager to determine if a bonus or incentive plan is appropriate for their staff. The University Human Resources Staff Compensation Team provides guidance in making this determination and consulting on the design of bonus and incentive plans.
