Best Practice - Legally Protect Your Sales Incentive Plans


By clearly documenting your sales incentive plan's terms and conditions (and ensuring that potential beneficiaries are aware of those rules), you can:
  • Increase transparency
  • Reduce confusion
  • Reduce the chance of disputes
  • Reduce overall legal risk and liability
  • Ensure edge cases are handled:
    • Example: how should employee attendance issues be handled?
    • Example: how should new employees or terminations be handled?
    • Example: are changes allowed during an active plan period?
    • Example: who has authority to adjust rewards, crediting, etc.?
    • Etc.

You can effortlessly protect your plan by adding legal statements to it, as well as configuring a few options. If you require formal user enrollment, we will facilitate the task of ensuring users review and agree to terms - including collecting valid e-signatures, or sending reminder emails.
