Merit Increases/Bonuses Clause Samples

The Merit Increases/Bonuses clause outlines the conditions under which employees may receive salary increases or additional compensation based on their performance or achievements. Typically, this clause specifies the criteria for evaluating employee performance, the timing and frequency of reviews, and the process for awarding merit-based pay raises or bonuses. By establishing clear guidelines for rewarding exceptional work, this clause incentivizes high performance and ensures transparency and fairness in compensation decisions.
Merit Increases/Bonuses. Merit raises may be given by the Executive Director at its discretion at any time during a contract year subject to the constraints of the wage scale and availability of funds. Such discretionary increases/bonus payments shall be based on the following criteria: production; performance; attendance; experience; or other criteria as determined by the Executive Director. Once recommended, the Executive Director shall make a determination and provide the designee, if applicable, the union, and the employee with the Executive Director’s decision. Any employee dissatisfied with the decision may request a meeting with the HR Director/designee to discuss the decision. The Executive Director’s decision as to the attainment or retention of any specific merit adjustment or lump sum payment for failure to meet/maintain merit standards is final and not appealable. Withdrawal or denial of merit is not disciplinary action. Merit increases may be in the form of hourly adjustment or lump sum equivalent. Merit increases are not intended to replace a negotiated general increase.
