The results of the 2011 ERC Pay Adjustment & Incentive Practices Survey show that the majority of employers are still offering an incentive/bonus plan. However, the percentage is down from the past few years.
The survey reports that 67% of organizations surveyed have an incentive/bonus plan, compared to 79% in 2010 and 89% in 2007. Although this is the lowest percent reported in years, it’s important to note that the majority of respondents continue to offer an incentive/bonus plan.
The survey also shows that incentives including annual bonuses, profit sharing, spot-achievement awards, and individual incentives remain the most common incentives offered by employers. Gain-sharing, small-group incentive pay, and stock options continue to be less common.
