The ten most common indicators in agreements involving profit sharing plans

Approving the Brazilian law for profit sharing plans (PSP) has brought a new perspective to the society when it comes to capital and labour relations. Concerning PSP, Law number 12.832 from June 2013 rules the relationship between business companies and workers, together with labour unions, providing to both parties the possibility of negotiating improvements on organisational processes for the companies and better pay for the employees. The main goal of this study is to present the results of a research developed with the ten most common indicators in 232 PSP agreements signed in Brazil between 2013 and 2014. The information used in this research was obtained in websites and at the headquarters of labour unions and companies from the issued region. The contracts were tabulated and analysed. From all information acquired, it was possible to extract 22 different performance indicators and, through the information acquired, it was concluded that the ten indicators pointed out here strongly represent the group studied, since they mean 84.99% of all indicators.
