Compensation & Benefits

Our salary system has fixed parts which are reviewed once a year in the Annual Performance Review. On top of that, all staff members have a variable bonus part, which is adjusted twice a year in line with goal achievement. This bonus plan takes into account FME’s performance as a whole as well as the individuals’ work accomplished.

We evaluate and benchmark all of our jobs periodically to guarantee fairness and transparency and to ensure that we have attractive remuneration packages exceeding industry standards. Within our European organisation, these vary according to local markets. Below is an overview for Germany.

Anniversary Payments

Commuting Allowance

Restaurant Cheques

Special Occasion Payments

eThankYou Rewards
In order to recognize people’s special engagement, eThankYou-mails can be sent company-wide. The employee’s superior receives a copy and decides whether to grant a financial bonus for each particular case.
