2025 Pay Plan Kickoff Promotion Bonus

Frequently Asked Questions 

 

What is the Kickoff Promotion Bonus? 
The Kickoff Promotion Bonus is a limited-time incentive designed to reward Brand Ambassadors and Brand Affiliates who achieve a new Title under the Pay Plan launched on June 1, 2025. It supports your transition and celebrates early momentum under the new structure. 

Between July 1, 2025, at 12:01 a.m. PDT and December 31, 2025, at 11:59 p.m. PST, you can earn a bonus by achieving Senior Brand Specialist or above for the first time. Earn additional bonuses by maintaining that same Title for a second and third month consecutively. 

Important: You are only eligible to receive bonuses for Titles you had not previously achieved before July 1, 2025. 

 

Who is eligible for the Kickoff Promotion Bonus? 
All Brand Ambassadors and Brand Affiliates are eligible to participate, so long as your highest-achieved Title as of June 2025 was lower than Chief Brand Executive. 

 

How much can I earn? 
Bonus amounts vary by Title and increase based on how long you maintain your new Title (up to three months total).

* Please note all bonus amounts are in USD.  

 

How do I qualify for the bonus? 
Between July 1, 2025, and December 31, 2025, you must promote to a Title higher than your highest-achieved Title as of June 30, 2025. 

 

Can I earn the bonus for just one month? 
Yes. You will receive the month one bonus when you achieve your new Title for a single month. However, you can also achieve additional bonuses if you maintain your new title on month two and three.  

 

What happens if I break the streak? 
To receive the month two and month three bonuses, you must maintain your new Title in consecutive months following your initial promotion. 

 

If you miss a month, you will not be eligible for any remaining Kickoff Promotion Bonus payments for that Title—even if you earn that same Title again later within your three-month window. 

 

For example, Lily was recognized as Brand Director as of June 2025. 

  • July: Lily maintains her Brand Director title.  
  • August: Lily achieves Senior Brand Director for the first time → earns month one bonus of $150 USD and a Title Reward 
  • September: Lily achieves Brand Director → does not earn month two bonus 
  • October: Lily again achieves Senior Brand Director → not eligible for month two or three bonuses because the streak was broken. 
  • Total bonus earned: $150 USD 

 

Can I earn bonuses for more than one Title? 
Yes. Bonuses stack. If you promote to multiple new Titles during the promotional period and maintain each for another two months, you can earn the full bonus amount for each qualifying Title. 

 

When are Kickoff Promotion Bonuses paid? 

Kickoff Promotion Bonuses are paid with Month-End Pay, which is issued on the 8th of the month following the month in which the bonus was earned. 

 

Do I receive any other rewards when I promote to a new Title for the first time? 
Yes! You will still receive the standard Title Reward when you promote to a new Title for the first time. The Kickoff Promotion Bonus is in addition to this reward. For more information on Title Rewards, click here [link to Title Rewards FAQ]. 

How long do I have to earn the Kickoff Promotion Bonus once I promote? 
You have a rolling three-month window, including the initial month of promotion, to earn the Kickoff Promotion Bonus for each new Title you achieve for the first time between July 1 and December 31, 2025. 

 

This means: 

  • If you promote to a new Title in July, you have until September to earn all three bonuses. 
  • If you promote to a new Title in December, you have until February 28, 2026, to earn all three bonuses. 
  • If you do not promote to a new Title until January 2026 or later, you will not be eligible for the Kickoff Promotion Bonus. 

 

Example Scenarios 
  1. Not Eligible: Marie has a recognized Title of Chief Brand Executive as of June 2025. Because she has already achieved the highest-paid Title in the plan, Marie is not eligible for the Kickoff Promotion Bonus.  

  2. Eligible and Maintains New Title for Three Months: 
    1. Lily has a recognized Title of Brand Manager as of June 2025.
    2. July: Achieves Senior Brand Manager (month one Senior Brand Manager bonus of $75 USD)
    3. August: Achieves Brand Director (month two Senior Brand Manager bonus of $75 USD + month one Brand Director bonus of $125 USD)
    4. September: Maintains Brand Director (month three Senior Brand Manager bonus of $150 USD + month two Brand Director bonus of $125 USD)
    5. October: Maintains Brand Director (month three Brand Director bonus of $250 USD) 
    6. Total Bonus: $800 USD ($300 USD for Senior Brand Manager promotion + $500 for Brand Director promotion)
    7. Also earns Title Rewards for Senior Brand Manager and Brand Director 

  3. Breaks the Streak: Lily achieves Senior Brand Director in November and receives the month one bonus of $150 USD. In December, she achieves Brand Director, so she does not earn any more bonuses.
