Value of wages (including bonuses, excluding benefits) paid to all full-time employees of the organization during the reporting period.
This metric is intended to capture pre-tax wages/salaries paid to the organization's employees and should not include benefits nor include payroll expenses. These wages should exclude Temporary Employee Wages (OI4202).
Metrics identified as "cross-category" are those that are relevant to any IRIS+ Impact Category or Impact Theme (i.e., these metrics are not specific to any particular industry/category or theme).

IRIS Metrics Work Better in Sets
To use IRIS metrics—and the resulting data—to understand impact performance, IRIS metrics should be used and analyzed in generally accepted sets and according to well-defined objectives. IRIS+ gives you access to generally accepted Core Metrics Sets aligned to common Impact Themes and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
