Summary

Restructures /handbook/operations/commission-payment/ so the steps that apply to every role are described once, in a new Shared steps for commissions and bonuses section, and the role-specific sections link to them:

  • Independent verification: after each period the Chief of Staff and the Operations team independently verify the numbers, then send the calculation for agreement; post agreement the payment is filed in Deel. Team members don't need to send their own numbers first.
  • Getting agreement, Currency of payout and Wiring the money, previously spread across the sales commission and CSM sections.

Other changes:

  • "Processing non-commission Bonuses" is now Processing Bonuses, explaining that a commission is a % of a booked, revenue-yielding deal (sales reps only) while a bonus is based on agreed goals, with a table of bonus types and periods (CSM quarterly, SDR monthly, MBO quarterly).
  • The CSM payout is described as a quarterly bonus on total portfolio performance, not a commission (sales/customer-success.md, sales/hubspot.md).
  • CSMs and employees with MBO bonuses no longer submit their own numbers; Operations prepares the calculation.
  • Links from the Sales Compensation Plan, sales index, customer success, SDR and people ops compensation pages now point to where the payment process is described.

For review

  • Payout currency: the sales commission steps and peopleops/compensation.md said USD; everything now follows the contract-currency rule that previously applied to CSMs only.
  • The Sales Compensation Plan only gets a bracketed pointer note; its terms are unchanged.

Restructure the Commission and Bonus Payment page so the steps that apply to
every role (independent verification, getting agreement, currency of payout,
wiring the money) are described once, and the role-specific commission and
bonus sections link to them.

- Add independent verification: the Chief of Staff and Operations verify the
  numbers after each period; team members don't send their own numbers first.
- Rename "Processing non-commission Bonuses" to "Processing Bonuses" and explain
  how a bonus differs from a commission.
- Treat the CSM payout as a quarterly bonus on portfolio performance, not a
  commission; the SDR bonus is monthly.
- Point the sales, customer success, SDR and people ops pages at the payment
  process sections.

Triggered by the fact now also SDRs join, and the structure and normalization of the process should happen
