Short-Term Bonuses/Incentives
Bonuses and/or incentives are one of the “variable” elements of the total compensation package. Annual bonuses/incentives are typically awarded based on the employee’s contributions, in conjunction with the organization’s financial performance, payable in cash or a combination of cash and stock. Bonuses tend to be discretionary, whereas incentive awards are determined by a formula.

Long-Term Incentives
Long-term incentives are one of the “variable” elements of the total compensation package. Performance periods typically run from three to five years or may be geared to “career” wealth accumulation. Long-term incentives can be either cash or stock based.
