How do tiered individual rewards work?
Set different reward amounts for different achievement levels.
Purpose
Pro-Goals can pay out different amounts based on how close someone gets to the target. This article explains how tiers work.
When To Use This
Use this when:
- You want graduated rewards (not all-or-nothing)
- You're setting up a new Pro-Goal template
- You want to motivate effort even when full target won't be hit
The 3 Threshold Types
Setting Up Tiers
For each tier, configure:
- Threshold type — Between / GTE / LTE
- Min and max (for Between only)
- Reward amount — Dollar value when matching
- Tier index — Order
Worked Example
Pro-Goal: Customer satisfaction score, target 95%.
Tiers:
A worker hitting 92% earns $100. A worker hitting 96% earns $200.
Important Rule: One Tier Per Worker
Each worker matches exactly one tier — the one their achievement falls into. They don't stack.
Reverse-Direction Goals
For metrics where lower is better (like incident rates):
LTE = "less than or equal." A perfect record (0 incidents) wins the highest tier.
Common Mistakes & How To Fix Them
"Tiers overlap and a worker earns from two tiers" Tiers shouldn't overlap. Verify min/max boundaries. The worker matches the highest tier they qualify for.
"My tier values aren't showing up at approval" Verify the achievement % is calculated. Some Pro-Goals require time to gather full data.
