2.0     Scope  
This shall apply to all regular team members using any of the different salary adjustment schemes indicated in this policy.  
 
3.0     Provisions  
The policy aims to give emphasis on the following through its implementation:
  1. Attract and retain competent employees

  3. Establish and maintain competitive salary ranges consistent with the economic requirements of the company and commensurate with other competitors and locations in which the company operates

3.1     Incentive Scheme  
A team member’s immediate superior establishes one’s team’s Key Result Areas  
(KRAs) and monitors their respective Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). The team member ensures they achieve their KPIs. The achievement of the pre-set KPIs may merit a monthly incentive scheme.  
 
3.2     Promotion  
Employee movement may transpire as a result of a project’s expansion or a job position clarification. The rate of increase in salary will depend on several factors such as:
3.2.1    the existing market rate for the position
3.2.2    the added skills and responsibilities required for the position
3.2.3    the new ratio of people reporting to the promoted employee

3.3     Annual Increase  
Performance Management System (PMS) results are considered for salary adjustments using achievement scores from the P.R.I.D.E. Values and Key Performance Indicators (KPI). If one fails the Values score, one can only be entitled to the inflationary increase.
