Giving Your WBN Remote Professional a Bonus - WorkBetterNow

We are often asked about bonuses for WBN Remote Professionals (RPs) 

Most WBN clients provide bonuses to their RPs based on their performance and the exceptional cost/benefit they receive from them. Many of our clients give a bonus to their WBN professionals in the same way they do their other employees; some do it at year’s end, and some do it at another time that coincides with when they pay bonuses to their US-based team.  

Below, you will discover some frequently asked questions about providing a bonus to your WBN professional(s). 

Why should I consider paying a bonus to my WBN professional(s)?  

Most clients do give bonuses to their WBN professionals. Some do it at year-end, some throughout the year, and others do it at another time that coincides with when they pay bonuses to their US-based team.  Providing bonuses – which are at the discretion of the client- can help to:  

• Reward performance and show appreciation for a job well done
• Increase morale and, therefore, productivity
• Improve retention
