Nowadays, Variable Compensation has taken different perspectives; on one side, specialist and theorists who recommend it as a strategic tool for quality and competitive advantage for organizational success; and on the other, unfavorable opinions related to its negative impacts on organizational climate, both for the company and even on the employee. This article aims to think over the possible types of variable compensation as well as to presenting a draft proposal of a variable pay plan for the higher education teacher who works in distance education. It took into account the specificity of distance teaching and its variables, as a teaching method characterized by teacher-student separation, and mediated by technological resources.Downloads
