What is Bupa's annual reward review?

The reward review is an annual cycle where your salary and bonus are reviewed by your manager or a reviewing manager. The activity comes after your end of year performance review, pay decisions and bonus scheme outcomes are directly influenced by your individual performance as well as Bupa's overall business performance.

What does that mean for me?

Depending on your eligibility, your individual performance and Bupa's overall business performance, your salary and bonus will be reviewed by your manager or a reviewing manager.

New salary decisions as a result of the reward review are effective from 1st April each year, with bonuses paid in March.

Bupa's annual reward review window usually occurs early February with activities required by people managers and reviewing managers before and during the window. We see people managers as all managers with people management responsibilities (i.e. those with direct reports) whereas reviewing managers are people managers who have the additional responsibility to make pay and bonus recommendations. 

Did you know? Not all people managers are reviewing managers, you will be contacted directly if you are a reviewing manager with specific actions and deadlines linked to the annual reward review.

There are two methods for completing this activity, largely determined by whether your area uses Workday or not, however there are some areas of BGUK & Group that use a combination of both so please ensure you follow local guidance.

Using Workday? Your reward review recommendations need to be completed using Advanced Comp, the reward review platform within Workday. You will come across 'merit plan' in the terminology used on Workday, this refers specifically to the salary aspect of the reward review only.

Not using Workday? Your reward review recommendations need to be collated in an Excel spreadsheet in a similar format seen in Advanced Comp.
