Scenario 10.2
Meritas Financial Ltd. is a financial advisory firm located in downtown Toronto. Most of the firm's senior employees (referred to as partners) are paid top dollar for bringing in huge accounts regardless of whether these accounts bring in the appropriate amount of business to justify the incentives paid. The partners are compensated on the net worth of the companies that sign on to use Meritas as their financial advisor. The owner is now concerned about this pay arrangement and wants to make changes to the way he compensates his employees.
