Short Term Incentive System
- A System that Reflects Fairly the Efforts and Results of
Employees Synergistically and Over the Long Term -
Bonuses are determined and paid by multiplying the payment rate and a figure matched to the
results of the company, taking a payment target percentage in accordance with the basic annual
salary and job grade of each employee as the standard. Of course, each individual’s results
assessment is reflected so the payment rate will fluctuate in accordance with individual results
such that if an employee’s assessment is as expected, the payment coefficient will be 1.0, if the
assessment is a level higher, the coefficient will be 1.2, and conversely, if the assessment is one
rank lower than standard, the coefficient will be 0.8.
Each individual can expect to receive a high increase in basic annual pay by achieving higher
results. Moreover, because Bayer has adopted a system that calculates bonuses by multiplying
by a higher bonus payment coefficient based on the increased basic annual salary, Bayer’s is a
system that is able to reward the efforts and high results of employees synergistically and over
long periods of time.
Information on these personnel and salary systems is available on the company intranet, where
employees can understand how their annual pay and bonuses are calculated and also forecast by
themselves to a certain degree what their annual income will be in the future. Bayer has
created systems that can connect the efforts of individuals with their expectations in regard to
future annual income.
