Variable compensation, also known as performance-based pay, the compensation fluctuates based on the goals achieved. It is designed to motivate employees to contribute towards the organization’s success. Variable compensation may be reinforced in various forms, such as stock options, profit sharing, or bonuses.
Variable compensation refers to the portion of an employee’s total compensation based on their performance and specific goals. It rewards or reinforces the employees for the team or individually contributes to the organization’s success.
Dual variable compensation refers to the compensation structure in which employees are eligible for two varied variable pay compensation based on performance metrics.
In a dual variable compensation system, employees may have a chance to earn bonuses from two different sources, which may be individual performance or team performance. This allows a more comprehensive and balanced approach to reinforce employees.
The formula to calculate variable compensation can vary depending on the specific structure and components of the compensation plan. However, here is a general formula that can be used as a starting point:
Variable Compensation = (Base Salary) + (Performance Multiplier) x (Variable Performance Component)
In this formula:
The performance multiplier is typically applied to the variable performance component to calculate the additional compensation amount that is earned based on performance. The resulting variable compensation is then added to the base salary to determine the total compensation for the period.
Variable compensation works by allowing employees to earn additional pay based on their performance.
Here’s how variable compensation work:
The difference between the base salary and variable compensation on the basis of various components is as follows:
Fixed compensation refers to the stable, predetermined amount of money an employee receives regularly, such as a monthly or annual salary. It remains constant over a certain period and is not directly tied to individual or company performance.
Variable compensation, on the other hand, is the portion of an employee's compensation that fluctuates based on performance. It is contingent upon achieving specific performance goals, targets, or metrics and can take the form of bonuses, commissions, profit-sharing, or equity-based incentives.

El eNPS (employee Net Promoter score) es una de las formas más sencillas pero eficaces de evaluar la opinión de sus empleados sobre su empresa. Incluye una pregunta intrigante que mide la lealtad.

Los empleados responden a la encuesta eNPS en una escala del 1 al 10, donde el 10 denota que es "muy probable" que recomienden la empresa y el 1 significa que es "muy poco probable" que la recomienden.
