Bonus and incentive programs

We offer counselling for pay packages and cover all variations and complexities.

Pay packages are very often composed of a number of different components, which leads to an increased variation and complexity, thereby heightening the need for counselling. We offer services including the preparation of bonus and incentive schemes, counselling during the conclusion, renewal, and termination of these schemes, and advice on bonus schemes in the financial sector. This encompasses counselling on variable pay and the identification of essential risks, among other aspects. Additionally, we are involved in drawing up compliance programs in the financial sector, etc.
