Example of Incentive Compensation Draw and Recovery

This scenario illustrates how you can pay flat amounts to participants for their draws and recover payments against all earnings.

Payment Plan Configuration

You have the Service Revenue plan component with Payment Plan Category set to Commission. The draw, or minimum amount, for the participant has these settings:

  • 1,000 USD per period

  • Stops at the end of the sixth period

Recovery is 100 percent of earnings above the minimum payment per period and starts at the fourth period. Because the draw is in effect through the sixth period, for the fourth, fifth, and sixth periods, payment processing ensures that the recovery amounts don't bring the minimum payment below 1,000 USD.

Earnings and Draw Adjustments

The table shows payment transaction earnings and the draw adjustments for six periods. The beginning draw balance for the first period is 0.00 USD.

The payment process does these actions:

  • Sums draw adjustments across periods to determine the balance due from the participant at the end of each period

  • Subtracts recovered amounts from the balance due
