YP Questions & Answers

• In Article 1.19, 1.20, 4.01, etc., does it say “Commencing September 4, 2016 – why is it not retro to the beginning of this contract or once the contract is ratified? 

            This language is not currently in the contract. Beginning September 4, 2016 non sales employees will begin working 8 hours per day/40 hours per week. Due to changes having to be made in the payroll system it can not                    be implemented immediately.

•             A.  What is the difference between Sam 1 and Sam 2…  The major difference between the two titles is the amount of annual revenue they will be required
  

                             to handle and of course the obvious, base pay.

•             B.  What is the difference between base and variable…. Each role has a total target compensation (TTC) and that number is a mix of either 55/45 or 45/55 for

                             Sales Executives – in layman’s terms if you perform  at 100% you will achieve the TTC amount

•             C.  Quota is based on what bots plus % increase (Looks like variable and base are a moving target)  

                             Quota is based on the amount of revenue that each rep will have in their “bucket”

                             when they switch to the new comp plan – they will be assigned all of their

                             accounts for the year
