KPI scorecard
A KPI scorecard is a management tool that lists key performance indicators with targets and actual results, often colour coded, so performance can be assessed at a glance. It is a business term rather than a legal one. It may become legally relevant when tied to compensation or contract obligations.
How BC law treats it
There is no specific BC law on KPI scorecards. Where a scorecard determines bonuses or contract payments, ordinary contract and employment law govern, and any personal information in it is subject to the Personal Information Protection Act, SBC 2003 c 63.
What it means for your business
Scorecards that drive pay should have clear definitions and calculation methods.
Risks and common mistakes
If a bonus is promised based on a scorecard, unilaterally changing the targets mid-year can lead to a claim for the bonus.
