I have seen this in the contract in some industries in Sweden. The people that has an optimization idea that saves the company money gets a percentage of what the company earns on the optimization the first five years or similar. Have also seen a few court cases where the company didn't pay out but was forced to pay :-)
- mstade 11y agoI wonder how well those bonuses are received when the payee realizes the tax hike on anything about 36k SEK / month, or whatever the limit is these days. Sweden's tax system isn't very bonus friendly, so unless the bonus is so significant that it's worth the tax cost it's just not that great an incentive. For example, a 10k SEK isn't that meaningful a bonus, since anything above the 432k SEK / year is taxed at ~50% – unless you're ok with that you'd probably want to look into other options.
