Fixed remuneration of 14 salaries a year (Austrian standard).

(Our boss pays us a voluntary Xmas extra, but it's small potatoes, about a 1/4 salary, which gets fully taxed as opposed to the regular 13th/14th salary.)

I get a bonus based supposedly on my personal performance. However, there are guidelines how much they want to pay across divisions, that does typically not reflect your true performance but often seniority etc. That's a percentage of my fixed salary. Additionally, I get a bonus based on how well the company is doing which is based on return on sales. That's a fixed sum.

I don't even have a job.

And I didn't back when I had one. We were lucky to get overtime.

Currently, most of my pay is determined by the production status of the projects I work in. As in, the further along it gets to actually being produced, the more payments get cleared. And then there's usually another variable depending on the final budget and in some cases even some backend (I have never seen a dime from that though, yay movie/tv accounting). Dunno if that's "personal" or "company" performance. Suppose the latter.

There's also the royalties, but it's not "pay" I suppose.

Yes.  One of my jobs at least pays extra for personal performance.  Working in bars does that. :lol:

Caliga

Yes, based on both personal and company performance.

Yes, both. But they're both in pretty modest ranges.

Last contract I got, preparing a public tender for a company, had a bonus attached in case the tender was won, so I guess that was a company performance thing.

DGuller

Yes, it's based on personal performance, unit's performance, I would assume company's performance, and it obviously averages to a higher percentages the higher up you are.

Grey Fox

Yes, in theory it's based on both performance & company results but in the ends, it's just some number between 1 and 4.5% of your based salary.

2% across all employees, this year.

I get no bonuses now.  Previously, I only got "performance sharing", which as a percentage bonus based on business metrics.

Just ran the numbers and on my last project the maximum amount of boni I could accrue would amount to 60% of my pay.
