EMPLOYEE BONUS SCHEME AGREEMENT

 

This EMPLOYEE BONUS SCHEME AGREEMENT (“this Agreement”) is entered into between Timpson Application Development LLC of address [ENTER ADDRESS] (“Company”) and [NAME] of address [ADDRESS] (“Employee” or “you” or “your”) on [DATE].

 

WHEREAS Company would like to invite Employee to participate in the building of Space Surfer (The Project). 

 

WHEREAS, the bonus scheme is designed to aid in the retention of the Company’s most crucial employees in the building of The Project.

 

WHEREAS the Employee accepts such engagement under the terms of this Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, and of the mutual promises and undertakings herein contained, the parties, intending to be legally bound, do agree as follows:

  • GENERAL TERMS

 

  1.  The Employee’s Retention Bonus for The Project is based on the Employee’s elected pay percentage. The payment for this bonus is to be paid out Quarterly and will be paid out as long as The Project is generating Net Revenue. 

 

  1. The Company will keep 80% of the Net Revenue The Project generates. 20% will be awarded to the contributors through the Points Pool (see Payment Terms).

 

  1. The term of the Employee’s participation will be described in the terms of The Project. The Company encourage the Employee to carefully review The Project, a copy of which will be attached.

 

  1.  The Company will own all rights, property, ideas that are contributed to The Project.

  • PAYMENT TERMS


  •  For the course of this project the Employee will elect a percentage of the Employee’s normal pay as to which the Employee wants to get paid for their work. 


  •  The remaining percentage will be awarded to the Employee as Points. The Points will be added to a Points Pool dedicated to The Project. 


  •  Retention Bonus will be paid the percentage of Net Revenue to all contributors in the Points Pool. The Employee’s amount will be determined by the Employee’s percentage of the Points Pool.


  •  Points do not expire, nor can they be transferred. The more hours the Employee contributes to The Project the more Points the Employee will contribute to the Points Pool.

 

Payment Example A

In this example, we will say you (Employee A) are being paid $50/hr and elected 50% to be contributed as Points to the Point Pool. You will receive $25/hr as your normal pay. You then worked on The Project for 100 hours. Your contribution to the Points Pool will be 5,000 points (50 points/hr * 100).
Employee B is being paid $30/hr and elected 90% to be contributed as Points to the Point Pool. They will receive $3/hr in their normal pay. They then worked on The Project for 150 hours. Their contribution to the Points Pool will be 4,050 points (27 points/hr * 150).

Let’s say The Project generated $15,000 of revenue in 1 Quarter. The upkeep cost of The Project, outside of payroll, is $5,000. Net Revenue will be $10,000 and $8,000 (80%) The Company will keep and $2,000 (20%) will be paid to all contributors of the Points Pool. Your Retention Bonus for the quarter will be your Points divided by the Pool size multiplied by the Pool pay amount,  $1,104.97 ((5000/9050)*$2000).

In the case of salary employees, the Company will calculate their hourly rate and apply the same method above.

  • NON TRANSFERABILITY
