Compensation Plans
Bonus, equity and commission terms you can hold them to.
Bonus structures, equity and vesting schedules, and commission dispute strategy.
What we cover
- Bonus structure: discretion language, pro-ration and employment conditions
- Equity grants, vesting cliffs, acceleration and post-termination exercise windows
- Commission plan mechanics: crediting, chargebacks and clawbacks
- Commission dispute strategy when earned amounts go unpaid
- Plan-change and reset provisions mid-year
- Written asks for the terms worth negotiating before you sign
How the engagement runs
Variable pay is where the fine print does the most damage. We read the plan documents for the conditions that quietly decide whether you get paid, and show you where there is room to push.
Bonus, equity and commission questions start with a paid strategy consultation. Ongoing support after that is billed hourly. Your employer never knows we exist — you deliver every message yourself.
