Technician Pay for Performance

Fix it right. Share in what it's worth.

At a lot of jobs, getting really good at your work doesn't change your paycheck. Here it does. Pay for Performance lets Koenig technicians share in the value they create, on top of their hourly wage.

How it works

Three things, in plain terms

Every hour you bill on a repair creates value for the Customer and for the shop. Pay for Performance compares that value to what you're paid for the hour, and when your work creates more, you share in the difference.

Your hourly wage

What you're paid for your time. That doesn't change with P4P.

The value you create

The hours you bill on quality repairs. Efficient, accurate, done right the first time.

Your share

When the value of your billed hours is more than your wage, the difference becomes your incentive.

What moves your number

This is about quality, not rushing

P4P doesn't reward cutting corners. A repair that comes back costs everyone, so comebacks and rework lower the value you created. The biggest rewards go to the tech who does it right the first time.

Raises it

  • Billing productive hours
  • Working efficiently
  • Documenting repairs accurately
  • Getting it right the first time
  • Building your technical skills
  • Taking great care of Customers

Lowers it

  • Rework
  • Comebacks
  • Unhappy Customers

Pride in the work

Good work finally shows up in your pay

Every technician knows which jobs they nailed: diagnosed right, fixed right, and the machine never came back. With P4P that work doesn't go unnoticed. You create the value, you share in the reward.

Learn more, earn more

Your training and your paycheck pull in the same direction

This is why P4P and our John Deere learning path fit together. Every level you finish makes you faster and more accurate on real repairs. Better repairs create more value, and more value grows your share.

A cycle: learn on the John Deere path, fix it right the first time, create more value, earn a bigger share, and keep learning LearnJohn Deere path Fix it rightfirst time Createmore value Earna bigger share REPEAT for your whole career

You're not on your own

Your Service Manager is in your corner

You'll never have to guess how your pay works. Your Service Manager reviews your performance numbers with you, and if you want a bigger payout, the two of you build a plan to get there: more training, better habits, the right kind of work.
