Bonus discrimination: Fair bonus treatment for international executives
Bonuses have become a very important element of how many international executives are paid. Some are guaranteed and paid across the board to all staff; others are discretionary and based on individual performance. If your bonus is based on individual performance, it can be directly related to the amount of profit or business that you create. However, you could be prevented from earning that profit or business because of discriminatory treatment by your employer. This could involve being excluded from marketing events with clients or important meetings; being excluded from communications; not being passed new opportunities etc.
