When employers knowingly or unknowingly discriminate, employees can report the incident to the third-party consultant who oversees the certification. Promoting the PinkAffirm Certification on job posts and your organization's website shows employees that you care about pay equity and fair treatment. If a report is made it will be investigated by SJM Consulting Services and remedied to the standards of compliance using industry-standard ethics and business best practices. 

Keep everyone on track and motivated! Standards for earning bonuses should be standardized and fair. Bonus criteria should be consistent across the organization and in all departments. If your organization offers bonuses at the negotiation table great! That will motivate your new employee. 

But, employees who don't get paid a bonus they feel they have earned will quickly become demoralized. BonusAffirm supports the promises of fair pay and bonuses and gives job-seekers the assurance they need to accept your offer. 

SJM supports the organization if any issue arises, preventing costly labor lawsuits. In a 2010 joint Harvard Business School and Yale School of Management study on whether bonuses boost sales productivity within the sales force of a large office supply company, researchers found that:

• Bonuses increase productivity.

• Quarterly bonuses increase sales force productivity more than annual bonuses.

• Salespeople tend to give up when they’re far away from reaching a quota, but they don’t slow down once a quota is reached, especially if their firm offers commissions for overachievement.

BonusAffirm ensures the drafting of a bonus contract that is fair AND that employees will be paid according to that contract when they reach their target.
