Written by Denisa Arjoca

The Incentive is an agreed percentage (nominally [5-10%]) of base salary prorated for the duration of being mobilised to the applicable project.

The Incentive award opportunity is calculated on the Employee’s base salary at the time of demobilisation from the Project.

Employee’s can only participate in one (1) Incentive at any given point i.e. if allocated to more than one (1) projects, cannot receive an incentive for working across multiple projects and double up in entitlements.

The Incentive will cease upon the employee’s completion of assignment to the assigned Project (last day allocated to the Project or transfer date).

The Incentive is based on project-based tenure only. There are no linked performance KPIs that are required to be achieved.

The incentive will not necessarily be applied to all projects.

It can be applicable to full time, part time, project specific, fixed term or casual employees

The Incentive amount is exclusive of superannuation. Ertech is required to make employer superannuation contributions up to the maximum contributions base.

All Incentive bonuses payable will attract superannuation contributions based upon ordinary time earnings to the maximum contributions base.

The Incentive amount will be processed by payroll less the applicable taxation requirements in accordance with legislative requirements.
