Remuneration model

Qt Group’s remuneration model may include fixed and variable remuneration components, such as:

  • monthly salary and fringe benefits, such as a phone, meals (fixed component),
  • short-term incentive schemes (variable component), and
  • long-term incentive schemes (variable component).

Short-term incentive schemes

Short-term incentive schemes have an earning period of maximum one year, and the associated reward is paid in cash.

Short-term incentive schemes’ reward criteria for the CEO and the Management Team are only directly linked to company-level targets. To promote cooperation within the Company’s Management Team and align their interests with the company’s long-term and short-term goals, the reward criteria for all Management Team members including CEO are identical. 

The Company endeavors to ensure that short-term incentive schemes cover a substantial share of the Company’s personnel. Unlike the incentive scheme reward criteria applicable to Company CEO and Management Team, the incentive scheme(s) reward criteria applicable to other personnel may include reward criteria associated with personal, team, function or business area level performance. Especially in sales, incentives are based on an individual’s performance in comparison with their personal sales targets.

Long-term incentive schemes

The purpose of any long-term incentive schemes employed by the Company is to motivate, engage and reward the CEO, the rest of the Management Team and Company other key personnel. Long-term incentive schemes have a minimum earning period of three years, and the associated rewards are paid in shares or options. A portion of such rewards may also be paid in cash, for example, to account for the tax effects associated with the reward.
