Terms & Conditions
Eligible employees will cease to become eligible if and when they cease to meet any of the eligibility requirements in this clause 1, including if the employee:
2. Enrollment
Each eligible employee will be automatically enrolled as a Participant in the Unilever URewards Program and will be assigned a user login and password to gain access to the Unilever URewards Program website. Upon initial login, Participants are required to change their personal password.
If a Participant ceases to be an eligible employee, his or her enrolment will be automatically cancelled:
3. Application of the URewards Program
URewards is the individual component of Variable Pay where eligible employees can earn up to 8% of their notional salary in a calendar year through achievement of the 3 annual targets.
How does it work?
Each eligible employee has three annual targets. These annual targets are broken down into monthly targets which are allocated a percentage weighting. Each month an employee has three separate monthly targets that they are tasked with achieving.
If the employee achieves a monthly target they will earn a predetermined percentage of salary (notional) as calculated according to the weighting of the target. If the employee does not achieve a monthly target they will earn zero percentage for that monthly target. At the end of a calendar year, the total earnings will be payable in April the following year subject to the terms and conditions of this program and the Unilever Worklevel 1 Variable Pay Policy.
Eligible employees can log on each month to view monthly targets, performance against these targets and the earnings that they have accrued so far. The employee can also view what they can potentially earn until the end of the year.
Any dollar value given in the website is based on a TGR value that the employee inputs. This dollar value will not reflect the real dollar value as it is dependent on the employee entering the TGR correctly. The payment made to the employee will be entirely based on the true TGR as recorded in the Unilever payroll system.
The percentage of notional salary payable remaining at the termination of the Unilever URewards Program or at the cancellation of the Participant's enrolment in accordance with clause 2 will be paid out according to the Variable Pay policy.
4. Timing of pay-out
The Participant's Unilever URewards Program awards will be paid out in line with Unilever's VP policy in April of each year.
5. Fraudulent Claims
Participants are required to enter data into the handheld IPAQ during each customer visitation. If any participant is found to have deliberately entered false or misleading data into the IPAQ the participant will undergo disciplinary action which may result in the instant termination of the participant's employment.
6. The Unilever URewards Program
Unilever reserves the right to suspend or terminate the Unilever URewards Program at any time by giving 1 months notice to Participants via the Website or via Unilever.com email address. All Targets achieved will be paid out in line with Unilever's Variable Pay policy.
7. Spin-n-Win Rewards
Participants will receive one Token for every monthly target achieved to participate in the SPIN-N-WIN section of the Website. The Participant's account will be automatically updated every time the Participant receives a Token. Tokens cannot be sold, assigned, or otherwise redeemed except in accordance with these Terms and Conditions.
Participants may use the Token to spin the wheel for a chance to win a instant prize (valued at $ 50 RRP). All Participants that spin the wheel and receive a draw card will be placed in the annual SPIN-N-WIN at the end of each year for the Participants chance to win the grand prize (valued at $ 500 ) which changes each year, see the current Spin-2-Win page of the website for more information. The winner will be notified by phone and the winners details will be published on the Website on 1 February. Unilever's decision is final and no correspondence will be entered into.
The annual SPIN-N-WIN will be drawn at 16.00 AEST on 31/01/2008 at Unilever Australasia 20 Cambridge Street, Epping 2121. Where the prize is unavailable for any reason, Unilever reserves the right to substitute for that prize another item of equal or higher value as determined by Unilever. No responsibility is accepted for any variation in the value of the prize. Prize value includes GST where applicable. The prize or any unused portion of the prize is not transferable or exchangeable and cannot be taken as cash.
Prizes must not be sold or otherwise transferred by the eligible employee to any other person, or used for promotional or commercial purposes without Unilever's prior consent. If a prize is sold, transferred or otherwise used in breach of this condition, Unilever reserves the right (without limiting its other rights) to cancel the prize or to refuse to provide the prize to the person to whom any sale or transfer (or purported sale or transfer) has been made.
The Participant cannot redeem any prizes, including vouchers, for cash, cheques, money orders or other payment instruments.
Any prize which is damaged or defective, delivered after its "use by" or "best before" date needs to be reported to the URewards Incentive Scheme Administrator no later than 48 hours after delivery.
