Key success hinges on meeting the 30‑day deliverables and navigating a fast‑paced, rapidly evolving environment with limited direction, drawing heavily on practical, real‑world experience.

Overview

We are seeking an experienced contractor to support the design, modeling, and evaluation of a non exempt incentive program pilot. This role will be responsible for translating incentive design concepts into data-driven models, ensuring compliance with applicable labor and safety regulations, and clearly communicating expected outcomes to stakeholders.

Key Responsibilities

Design and refine non-exempt incentive plans using applied, real-world experience

Develop advanced analytical models to evaluate incentive cost, performance, and financial impact

Build gainshare-based models using defined metrics, weighted measures, and performance thresholds

Ensure incentive design frameworks and payout calculations align with FLSA requirements (including regular rate of pay, overtime implications, and non-discretionary earnings treatment)

Incorporate OSHA considerations into incentive design to avoid unintended safety risks or behaviors that could discourage incident reporting or safe work practices

Create scalable models that support multiple scenarios and assumptions to assess risk and opportunity

Partner with stakeholders to validate drivers, metrics, outcomes, and compliance considerations

Clearly and concisely present model outputs, expected results, compliance implications, and key insights to varied audiences

Translate complex analytical findings into actionable, compliant recommendations

Must-Have Qualifications

Applied experience designing non-exempt incentive plans, including production- or driver-based programs

Demonstrated working knowledge of FLSA regulations, including how incentive pay impacts overtime calculations and total compensation compliance

Awareness of OSHA principles as they relate to incentive plan design, particularly in avoiding safety-disincentivizing structures

Advanced analytics skills, with demonstrated ability to develop detailed cost analyses tied to defined and weighted performance metrics

Proven experience working within gainshare or incentive-based compensation models

Ability to build and maintain multi-scenario models to support forecasting, decision-making, and compliance impact analysis

Strong presentation and storytelling skills, with the ability to quickly and effectively explain expected outcomes, compliance considerations, and meaningful results to non-technical stakeholders
