Bus/Financial - Economics / bonus schemes
English term or phrase: threshold
Hi there,

I am translating a document on bonus schemes and I have come across the following sentence:

the maximum was 100% of salary with 0% at threshold, 50% at target and 100% at maximum

This is referring to a change in a company's bonus scheme. I have seen threshold translated as umbral, and I am just wondering whether that would apply here, I have translated the sentence as the following:

el máximo era el 100 % del sueldo, con un 0 % en el umbral, un 50 % en el objetivo y un 100 % en el máximo

Thank you!

por incumplimiento de objetivos


Explanation:
Un "threshold worker" es un trabajador no calificado. Sin embargo, entiendo que acá se está refiriendo a aquellos empleados que no cumplieron con los objetivos asignados.

Por ende, si cumpliste con los objetivos, te darían un premio del 50 % de tu sueldo y, si excediste las expectativas, más de un 50 % y hasta un 100 %. Si no cumpliste con los objetivos, 0 % de premio.

Fijate con el contexto.
Espero que te sirva.
