At Trinidad Wiseman, we share the money we receive from our clients with our specialists
From our previous articles, you are already familiar with the culture and values of Trinidad Wiseman (TWN). You found out how hybrid work works for us and what development and learning opportunities exist in TWN. Our CEO and founder, Ander Tenno, talks about money or our payroll model in this article.
"The bonus is our monthly portion of salary, not the amount you receive from time to time."
In addition to the basic salary, specialists' salaries depend directly on the turnover brought to the company by our work. In other words, the money received from customers (just in case, we explain that you don't have to look for customers yourself).
The surcharge is based on a fixed system and is paid monthly. The bonus in the total salary is typically 20-40%: experienced professionals have a lower wage (because their basic wage is higher), employees who are still at the beginning of their development path have a higher salary.
Why have we chosen such a salary model?
This creates an environment where everyone's income depends primarily on themselves and significantly reduces the need to control people's working hours or attendance. This, in turn, makes it much easier for the company to deliver according to its values (mainly human focus and autonomy).
We have also noticed that people's ability to work is different. We do not expect anyone to work overtime or work at a sustainable pace. At the same time, it seems fair that a specialist who bets more will be paid more for it.
Another good thing is that as hourly prices increase, wages increase automatically! For example, a change of 5 euros per hour with a customer adds about 200 euros to the salary.
Our experience has shown that our pay system helps people be motivated and do an excellent job for the client. It also encourages you to analyze and prepare fair offers for the customer thoroughly.
"Your contribution and co-thinking reflect in your paycheck."
TWN has up to 140 different projects underway at the same time. Thus, there is a lot of volume assessment and decision-making on methodologies. All this allows you to develop quickly and shape your payroll.
We give our team members freedom, which does not limit or dictate what and how long you have to do in a project. Freedom also comes with responsibility for one's work.
That is why we are looking for proactive and independent specialists in our team who can analyze the workload, think methodically and design interesting projects for themselves. Of course, as a new employee, it takes a while to adjust, but people who dare to seek more advice right away are developing the fastest.
The salary of our specialists depends on 3 pillars (no, not those of a pension)
The salaries of specialists of similar value do not differ significantly in the case of the same introduced money. As we talked about in the article on development paths, our salary is far from dependent on how well someone knows a tool or technology. It is a combination of many factors.
"TWN does not take advantage of someone's rapid development. In this case, the person's responsibility and pay also increase faster than usual."
