What Is Performance-Based Compensation?
Performance-based compensation (PBC) is a system for rewarding employees financially, outside of their regular salaries. The financial compensation is based on how individual employees, departments, the company, or the company’s stock price performs during a specific time frame and in accordance with pre-determined goals set by the organization. These programs may also be called Pay-For-Performance systems. Companies who utilize these systems must be prepared to define and track performance, as well as provide compensation, such as bonuses, when objectives are met according to benchmarks. The supplemental income will also have tax implications for employees.

Cryptocurrency is generally defined as a digital or virtual currency that uses cryptography for security and operates independent of a government, central bank, or similar authority. Cryptography is used to regulate the release of currency units and to verify financial transactions. Users of cryptocurrency generally send to each other through a peer-to-peer network, while remaining anonymous. The currency transfers occur through public and private keys. Every transaction is a file that includes the public keys of the sender and the recipient, as well as the amount of currency transferred. The transaction also requires the sender to confirm the transfer with a private key.
