Cash Compensation Scheme
The company operates a cash compensation scheme based on fixed and variable
components. The company recognizes the importance of remaining competitive
in this area and for that reason the compensation structure is under continuous
review in addition to the scheduled review program described below.
- Annual salaries
Annual salaries are very competitive and are individually reviewed
on an annual basis as part of a formal Performance Management Program
(PMP). These salaries are also reviewed annually according to industry
standard indices and by reference to salaries provided by other world
class research institutions.
- Scheduled bonuses
Scheduled bonuses are calculated and paid every six months (in February
and August). The bonus amount is based on the individual's performance
against agreed objectives and the company's overall performance.
Target bonuses are in the region of 10% - 15% (annualized) of
base salary. Exceeding target expectations will result in significantly
higher bonus levels (typically 20% - 25%, annualized) and for
outstanding performances there is no upper limit on the amount that
can be paid.
- Presidential bonuses
Presidential bonuses are paid for outstanding contributions to the
company's performance. These can be to individuals or to a team.
There is no limit to how much or how often these bonuses can be paid.
These bonuses are paid at the discretion of the company's senior
management and are usually proposed by line managers.
