Labor Tracking
At time of hire, a target labor percentage will be identified (i.e. payroll is not to exceed 25% of the business’s gross income). An incremental percentage will be awarded each quarter depending on how low the labor percentage goes. Since you’ll have power to hire/ fire your team and oversee the number of hours they work each week, you’ll have direct control over that labor percentage.
Optimization Bonus Program
Shipping or material usage: should you discover a more cost-effective means of packaging, constructing, or storing any of our obstacles we will award you with a percentage of the value saved on those obstacles sold during the quarter.
COG (cost of goods) incentive
Should you find an alternative supplier to source our materials from at a more cost effective rate, you will be compensated with a percentage based on the amount of money saved on that material during the quarter.
- note: you will be responsible for the tracking and reporting of your bonus program numbers.
