Subject: Performance Management System Enhancement - Bonus Calculation
Summary:    

Hi Sanjay

With reference to Case: L12599, we developed the below formula for the Bonus calculation:

Request the following changes:

  1. A different formula will be used for Staff and Managers. Refer to Table 1 below
  2. Report Changes below:

    1. Performance Appraisal Bonus Calculation Report.
    2. Performance Appraisal Bonus Award Letter.

Bonus Formula for Staff:

Bonus Payment(category) = (((Average Score / Ceiling of Range % of Bonus Salary) * Bonus %) * Salary) * (Normal Hours Worked + Hours Leave Paid/ Total Normal Working Hours in a Year)

 

They have advised that the above formula will apply to Staff and a new formula needs to be designed for the Managers. Therefore the Bonus Calculation Report will consist of the 2 formulas.


Bonus Formula for Managers: (((Average Score / Ceiling of Range % of Bonus Salary) * Bonus %) * Salary) * (Normal Hours Worked / Total Normal Working Hours in a Year)

Notes:

  1. For managers - Normal Hours Worked is the total of ANHRS pay code only  
  2. Do all other definitions remain the same
  3. The current formula works well for the Staff
  4. Refer to Table 1 to differentiate between staff and manager:

Table 1: Rules to Identify Staff and Managers 

Hours Worked per Pay

N

(((Average Score / Ceiling of Range % of Bonus Salary) * Bonus %) * Salary) * (Normal Hours Worked / Total Normal Working Hours in a Year)

 

Changes required: Design a new formula for managers
