Bonus Plan

The policies a company follows in paying out bonuses. The bonus plan includes details on eligibility, the circumstances under which bonuses are paid and how amounts are determined. For example, a bonus plan may state that employees are eligible for a bonus after a certain number of months with the company when the company collects more than a certain percentage of its accounts receivable.
