What is alternative remuneration?
Alternative compensation is a collective term for additions to your employees' normal salaries as bonuses, rewards or incentives. Unlike a gross salary increase, your employees get more flexibility with alternative benefits and you pay less to give them something extra.
Some examples of alternative remuneration:
- Warrants
- Bonusplan
- Investeren in research & development
Benefits of alternative compensation
- It costs the employer less: Payroll costs are often lower with alternative remuneration than with a conventional pay rise.
- Your employees keep more of their salary: You create a higher net worth for your employees, and as an employer, you pay less (or no) contributions.
- It's fiscally attractive: Certain fringe benefits can help you make additional savings.
- It motivates staff: In some cases, alternative remuneration allows workers to choose for themselves what they find important, or what they need. With well thought-out compensation, you create a more productive work environment
- Employer's reputation is strengthened: For workers, it is increasingly important to be able to negotiate their salary package. Alternative remuneration options can be presented as employer branding assets.
