Compensation reports is part of the HR Data domain and it is composed of 3 reports. Data came from Compensation tools: Easy comp (old one) and Success Factor module Compensation. the data is processed to produce the three BW reports. The aim is to make data relating to the Compensation Campaign available to managers and HR. They can follow the progress of the campaign with Progress Status report and look into Merit and Variable pay data.
Variable compensation is the part of total cash compensation that will vary in amount from year to year considering the performance of the employee individually, the Entity and the Group.
There are multiple types of variable compensation and recognition programs that can be short term (evaluation of achievements and performance less than or one year) or long term (evaluation cycle longer than one year) as well different considering the type of program – is it local or group-wide.
The Compensation Campaign is held every year in March.

2.0 Business Process
VARIABLE COMPENSATION: Locally Graded Employees (S14 and below)
Locally Graded Employees (S14 and below) are eligible to participate in the Global Performance Sharing program intended to provide a motivational element that recognizes employees' contributions by involving them in the Group's results at the global level, thereby strengthening their sense of belonging to the Solvay Group.
Besides that, specific Short Term Incentive programs at local (country) or GBU level can be prevalent and are intended to recognize individual or team achievements, similar to the objectives of the Solvay STI plan (see below).
To learn more about these programs, please contact your local HR representative.
VARIABLE COMPENSATION: Globally Graded Employees (S15 and above)
A) Short Term Incentive (STI) plan
All S15 and above graded employees (except employees on Solvay’s Sales Incentive Plan - see below) are eligible to participate in the Solvay STI program, which is designed to reward employees for the results delivered by individuals, by teams, and by the Group as a whole, thus reinforcing our purpose and working as ONE Team.
The STI Bonus Target is determined as a percentage of annual base salary for positions graded at S15 and above and has been set by region and grade. For grades S23 and above, the @Target percentage of annual base salary is set globally and is the same in all countries.

STI Targets for eligible participants as a percent of Annual base salary:
The payout of Solvay STI plan is based on the achievement of predetermined annual Group and Entity specific goals as well as individual objectives. The weight of these elements varies by the grade of the employee. Since 2022 the link between STI payout and our progress towards One Planet objectives is being strengthened by linking 15% of total STI results to One Planet progress and this equally applies to all Employee categories participating in the Plan.
B) Sales Incentive Plan (SIP)
Solvay is customer obsessed and your role, as part of the Commercial team, is key to bond with our clients, ensuring that we create long-term shared value and top line growth. To support and reward those efforts, the leadership and the significant contributions, a new Solvay Global Sales Incentive Plan (SIP) has been recently implemented for the professional development and personal motivation of Solvay’s Commercial teams.

C) Long Term Incentive plans
The purpose of the Long Term Incentive plans is to align compensation, decisions and interests of our senior leaders with Solvay's long term strategy and the company’s sustained performance. Currently, these plans are applicable to grades S23 and above.
RECOGNITION PROGRAMS
Recognition programs are periodical or ad-hoc (as needed, "spot") award programs that can be monetary or non-monetary programs to formally recognize an achievement, a performance, a behavior or celebrate the success of a particular initiative, project or individual contribution.
There is a wide spectrum of recognition programs in Solvay that are usually GBU or country specific, with the exception of the Solvay Special Recognition Award program, which is consistent around the globe in multiple GBUs/Functions.
The Solvay Special Recognition Award program is designed to provide a cash vehicle for recognizing individual employees or small teams for outstanding achievement that clearly demonstrates elements of Solvay Management and People Models.
