> **The idea:** The Wiki explains the model; your written agreement sets your actual terms.

## Your employment agreement

Before joining, you should receive these in writing:

- The identity of your employing company and your role.
- Your working arrangements and ordinary pay.
- Any applicable commission or service-cost method.

## If shared upside applies

The separate approved rules must explain the pool calculation; Birdhaven's protected amount and how it adjusts; who qualifies and how each share is calculated; when the rules begin; how starters, leavers and leave are treated; how payroll and tax are handled; and how statements and corrections work. Ask management for a worked example.

## What is not final yet

The protected-amount adjustment formula and individual allocation rules are **still being designed**. Until approved and included in the applicable written terms, there is no promise of a particular payout or start date.

These Wiki pages **do not replace your employment agreement or change existing signed terms**.
