French term

fixation de prime

French to English Bus/Financial Human Resources Salaries
Hi,

I am translating an employment contract from French to British English. The tricky expression comes under the "salary" section. Below is the expression as it appears in the whole sentence:

"Le montant exact de la rémunération variable sera déterminé par un système de fixation de prime"

Would "establishing bonuses" be a good translation or is there something more appropriate please? Thanks in advance.

calculating bonuses

I think your idea is fine. To be more specific, maybe 'calculating' or 'working out' would also be options here.

agree philgoddard : I don't feel Jacquie should have posted a separate answer, since the asker was basically asking for a translation of "fixation" and "système" was not in the question. But calculating, not working out.
