Incentive in ProTrack Warehouse is a powerful tool used to identify individual employees who are eligible for performance-based incentive pay. Incentive pay is configured by setting up an "Incentive Plan" and assigning employees to the plan. This process is described in the ProTrack Warehouse Configuration Manual.
Once an Incentive Plan is configured and effective, employees will be automatically evaluated as to whether or not they are eligible to receive incentive pay. Different payout levels can be configured for an incentive plan, so the amount of incentive pay depends on the employee's performance level. The incentive pay is calculated as a percentage of the employee's base pay, and the percentage is the value that can move based on performance.

In most cases, pay rate is not configured therefore total payout must be calculated manually before actual payment.

Re-running An Incentive Plan

Incentive plans can be re-run in case any adjustments or assignments were missing at the initial run of the plan. Only the last four review periods of a plan can be re-run at any given time, anything older than that cannot be re-run.

1. Click on the Re-Run Incentive tab on the Approve Incentive screen.
