A scheme distributing a portion of company profits to employees.
Profit sharing is a compensation strategy in which a company distributes a portion of its profits to employees. It can take the form of cash payments, contributions to retirement accounts, or shares in the company. Profit sharing aligns employee interests with company performance, fosters ownership mentality, and can be used as an alternative to base salary increases. Profit sharing schemes are common in professional services firms, cooperatives, and technology companies. Payroll software automates profit share calculations and distributions.
