Cost Cutter #3
Pare Payroll, Keep People

       Chimorel has developed a unique compensation program designed to reward motivated employees and eliminate slackers. It starts with paying everyone the same basic wage and essential benefit package. Each employee then establishes an expected pay package that is essentially 10% below the standard in the industry tied to goals that are essentially equal to or slightly above standard in the industry. If they meet the goals they receive the standard.

       Then each employee establishes a stretch/desired level of compensation. This desired level of compensation focuses initially on benefits and bonuses for achieving stretch goals. The stretch goals are tied to company profitability and other measures intended to assure that funds are available to pay the higher levels of compensation. To compensate for the 10% below standard, a program which enables employees to buy goods, services, homes, cars, food and other items is structured to enable each employee to save on the items they need/want to buy.
