How late is too late to receive a comp plan?

Question

Started my new job at the beginning of May and still have not received a comp plan. Come to find out this morning in my one on one with my manager that its still being worked on, and I did have a quota last quarter which I was unaware of.

3 months feels way too late to receive a comp plan, but how long generally is too late?

Accepted Answer

If it doesn't come before I put my two-weeks notice in, its late.

Answer

I would think 3 months is way too late, but based on the experiences I have seen from other savages, it seems right in line with what others experience

Answer

That sounds really late - and honestly sounds like they have a massive communication problem in general. Who isn't told about a quota?

Answer

Secret quota systems. This is cool. Does it come before or after the secret PIP. Can you collect secret unemployment?

Answer

So you have a quota, unbeknownst to you, but havent received your plan. Sounds pretty shady.

Answer

I've seen long waits for revamped comp plans, but for a job you just started this is messed up

Answer

I have waited 45 ish days once, I dont understand why this is so common.

Answer

I would imagine that there would be a plan when they bring you in. How do you know what quota is? This just seems off on so many levels

Answer

The point in time that a company assigns a quota to your name is when you should have a comp plan.

Answer

45 days MAX and thats a stretch

Answer

3 months is too late. Is it just you in the company having this issue?

Answer

My last job, it wasn't until month 4 that we got a comp plan. Everything we sold under the old "inadequate" comp plan, we never got paid for. In hindsight, it was a sign of deeper problems with the company.

Answer

Death bed

Answer

Ive waited 4 months before but granted at the time I was a BDR but it was still bullshit and no excuse. Especially because the rest of sales got theirs late but not 4 months, more like 2-3 months. If it takes that long you know most likely its a shit comp plan or theres some bullshit in there to fuck you over. IMO

Answer

Still don't have it after 7 months

Answer

Terrible, not sure how sales leaders get to keep their jobs running a team like that.

Answer

Damn I don’t know what to say. They done fucked up

Answer

The quota part is WEIRD. If the comp plan isn’t clear that’s one thing… but being measured against something you didn’t know about is some deep whackness.

Answer

You should receive your comp plan, before you join or max a week after you join. This sounded late.
