NML Bonus Structure
NML Bonus Structure
Introduction:
NML recognizes that building a positive company culture is imperative to our long-term success. Due to this, our bonus structure evaluates not only job performance but also rewards employees who contribute to the company culture.
Bonus Structure Overview:
The NML bonus structure is comprised of two main components:
- Meeting expectations: 50%
- Culture Champion: 50%
- Additionally, there is an opportunity for employees to earn an additional 20% bonus for "going the extra mile," which is at the discretion of senior management.
Please note that bonuses will be based on your salary in October of the previous year.
Meeting expectations (50%):
- Meeting the Job description expectations
- Living the NML values
Culture Champion Breakdown (50%):
The "Culture Champion" component is further divided into specific criteria, each contributing a percentage towards the overall 50%. It should be noted that scoring opportunities for being a Culture Champion are all-or-nothing; employees must fulfill the entirety of each criterion to receive the allocated percentage.

- Cameras On: 10%
- Employees are required to have their cameras on during company meetings unless a valid reason, such as networking issues, is provided.
- Team Events Attendance: 10%
- Attendance at team events is mandatory, and employees must achieve 100% attendance to qualify for this portion of the bonus.
- LinkedIn Engagement: 5%
- Employees are encouraged to actively engage with NML content on LinkedIn.
- Recognition & Praize Participation: 5%
- Employees are expected to actively participate in recognizing and rewarding their peers through our Praize tool.
