CO PA-C Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Could someone explain how to interpret the salary report in regards to the base salary and bonus? Do the numbers indicate that, for example, one falling in a certain percentile receives a base salary of "x" in ADDITION to the listed bonus. Or are they separate of each other? Just wanted to clarify this. Thanks ahead of time. I've attached an example.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgriffiths Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Bonus would be on top of base salary, so a total income would be the sum of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenmood Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 I would read it as... Of the people who receive a bonus, $XX is what folks get at each percentile. That can be separate from salary. So someone might make a salary that’s at the 10th percentile, but receive a large bonus at the 90th percentile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisDarst Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 It's a pretty broad term that can mean a lot of things. I took that salary survey and included a "bonus" which for me was a "additional workload" bonus for covering another service that is short-staffed. But a "bonus" could also be a structured productivity bonus, a bonus for hitting quality metrics, profit sharing, etc. So it's a pretty broad term, but it's definitely referring to income on top of salary. Total compensation would be the two added together. Unless the survey were to restrict answers to "structured bonus", that number will contain any amount of additional income (as my response did) which may or may not correlate with the opportunities at your institution/employer. Hope that helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
