Some common compensation strategies include:
Straight salary: Paying workers a base salary
Salary and commission: Workers earn a salary and sales commissions
Commission only: Workers only earn commissions
Team commissions: Commissions and bonuses are based on the team’s performance
Profit margin or revenue-based: You pay workers from the organization’s profits
Residual commission: Workers continue to earn commissions on revenue from their accounts even after they leave the company
Total rewards: Offering employees a mix of compensation, employee benefits, and non-monetary perks

No compensation package is complete without quality employee benefits. Some popular employee perks include paid time off (PTO), retirement benefits, and health insurance.
