Our compensation program is designed to ensure that WILink:
- attracts and retains key skills and experience
- rewards associates for achieving our corporate mission and ambitious business goals
- recognizes and rewards both individual and team performance
- is non-discriminatory and based on the quality and quantity of work performed
Each position is zoned on the basis of a job evaluation scheme and compensation ranges within zones are set according to local labor market conditions. At present there are 10 zones. Individual base salaries reflect individual merit and company performance.
The WILink culture places considerable emphasis on motivating personal performance. Most of our associates are eligible for the following performance related incentive plans:
Annual Incentive
Bonuses are paid partly on achievement of personal performance objectives and partly on achievement of corporate financial targets. Assessment of performance takes place quarterly or half-yearly and bonuses are paid accordingly as a percentage of an associate's base salary. Full and part-time associates are eligible to participate in the plan.
Share Options and Share Awards
WILink believes strongly in aligning associate and shareholder interests through associate share ownership. Virtually all associates are eligible for one or more of the following plans after six months service:
- Deferred shares with a two year vesting target are granted to motivate retention of associates in zones 2 – 4
- Share options, normally with share price or other performance based vesting targets, are awarded to associates in zones 5 and above
Referral Bonus Program
All associates are encouraged to make associate referrals for open positions within the company. If the referred associate is extended an offer of employment and becomes successfully employed, the associate making the referral receives a generous referral bonus.
Associate of the Year Program
Each December, the Associate of the Year is selected by WILink associates for an exceptional and outstanding contribution to the company's success. The winner is recognized on a plaque in the office and is also rewarded with a generous prize. The first and second runner up are also recognized and presented with a generous prize. The winners are announced at our end of year party. Click here to see our previous winners.
