Executive Pay

Executive pay is a key factor in your reward strategy and can play a decisive role in your company’s development and profitability. Being seen as an employer of choice and providing the right incentives to key executives and top management, means you’ll be able to attract and retain the right people while optimising their employee cost.

Your challenges

When choosing the reward incentives to offer your top management, ask yourself two questions:

• What is the most appropriate – and most optimal – legal status for an executive to carry out his duties?
• How can the reward package be optimised from tax, social security and labour law perspectives?
