This year was an anomaly for the chain. Most stores were meeting script count until December. I do not know if they will factor this into the bonus or not. I have seen times where they take out a month....
The average bonus for a PIC is 2-3k.... depending on metrics.
I have received up to 10k as a bonus. This was during express scripts/ Wags fall out and the year after.
The key is the scripts... by raising it one percent, you can increase your bonus by a few thousand. There are ways to drive scripts including KPM, and filling "OTCs". In fact, I insist on filling all aspirins, docusates, MVI, Iron, etc. I tell customers looking at vitamins or diabetic testing supplies that if they get a script, it might be covered under their insurances. I also upsell a lot when customers come in. I ask them if they want to fill x, y, and Z while they are here.
For me, I am in a higher volume so filling extra scripts does not affect me.
Keep in mind that even if you have a low SOS, if you are making scripts (like 10 percent over), you will be getting a good bonus. Only 30 percent of SOS is factored into the bonus (20 percent scripts, and 10 percent KPM).
So AncientBon who claims their store is filling 25 percent more scripts will get a really nice bonus... especially if she is in a higher volume store. If Ancientbon was PIC, his bonus might be 15k.
They were suppose to introduce a new bonus structure that pays the PIC out a lot more... but I don't know what happen to that.
