How to Make the Bonus Expense Calculation Variable

Situation

Let's say you need to change bonus expense based on an achievement assumption. So, for example, if bonuses are 70% based on achievement of company goals and you are running ahead of Plan, you can change your bonus expense for this 70% to be 120% of target. Or if you are running behind Plan, set it at 80% of target.

Solution

Load bonus by employee at 100%. Create a new compensation item with basis as % of Wages type. In this compensation item, you will have to map the Bonus compensation item. This new compensation item will help you to increase/decrease the actual bonus (as needed in the example) by -30% to get to 70% based on achievement of company goals. Or say 20% to get 120% of Bonus if you are running ahead of the Plan.
