We provide an open and transparent compensation system which is based on only three factors:

• An individual’s contribution index
• Our global index, based on company profitability, strategy and global inflation
• Hours worked

Additionally, Buro Matei offers:

• 32 or 40 hour workweek, flexible hours.
• Personalized benefits.
• Transparent salary scheme, based on employee’s contributions.
• Profit-sharing scheme, based on employee’s contributions.
• Sales commission scheme.

We aim at tailoring each individual’s compensation package, as different people might value different forms of compensation, and different countries follow different regulations. In practice that means a balance between:

• Gross salary
• Mobility: Options for remote work and, where applicable, compensation for transportation.
• One-time pays: Contribution-based profit-sharing scheme and sales commission scheme.
• Flexible budget: Allocated for personal development, health and wellness, home work space, or other approved expenses.
• Professional development opportunities: Access to training, courses, and career growth paths.

• For fully remote employees outside the Netherlands, we engage through a local employer of record to ensure compliance with regional employment laws and practices.
• This approach allows us to extend our global reach while maintaining the integrity of our employment standards and benefits.
• Local employment standards, such as holidays, healthcare, retirements, etc. will be respected.

The Employee’s personal performance and contribution shall be periodically evaluated and bench-marked. This evaluation results in determining a personal Contribution Index.

Each individual’s contribution is measured by their peers in terms of:

• Technical knowledge

• Quality of the work

• Creativity: smart ideas, innovation, out-of-the box, problem solving

• Continuous Improvements: automation, efficiency increase, waste reduction

• Bringing in new work

• Giving and receiving feedback

• Ownership: self managing, responsibility

• Time and budget management

• Learning and teaching

• Collaboration and communication

• Buro Matei plans at least one salary increase cycle per year.
• During the salary increase cycle, each employee’s new salary shall be determined based on:
  • The Employee’s contribution index, as outlined above.
  • The Buro Matei Global Index, based on company profitability, strategy and global inflation.
  • Contract hours.

• The company plans at least once profit-share pay per year.
• A personal profit-share, as applicable, shall be determined based on:
  • The portion of actualized global profit made available for profit-sharing.
  • The Employee’s contribution index, as outlined above.
  • The Buro Matei Global Index, based on company profitability, strategy and global inflation.
  • Hours worked.
