"Top managers have high rewards because their bonuses are often tied to a specific target, performance or profit. They have more responsibility and their positions can affect the functioning of the company," says Lubomir Valenta from the company Profesia CZ, the operator of Platy.cz. "The yearly salaries of top managers often exceeds the amount of basic salary," says Valenta.
The amount of bonuses and the proportion of people rewarded increases with the company size. In small firms, rewards are not common. Among the companies under 10 employees, only one quarter of employees received rewards in 2011. In large companies with more than 1,000 employees, however, bonuses were paid to more than 40 percent of employees.
