I've started running my first major project. Run lots of jobs but this is the first major one (3mil). Most of the foreman I worked under apprenticing had a bonus system in place. Usually a portion of leftover man hours at the end of the job and I'm not sure how change orders factored into that (I probably have 600k in change orders currently).
It's a great company and they are very good to me. That being said they work on a yearly bonus system based on senority, jobs you've worked etc. You get handed a check but you don't know how they got the #. I would prefer moving to a project based bonus system as I think that's more fair if I work my ass off and the job does really well. The company is newish and really taking off, starting to win alot of bids for larger projects.
I'd like to approach them about changing it before the start of the next major project and am curious to hear what some of the foreman here have in place and what the factors are that make up said bonus. Thanks for reading!
