Spanish term

metas de cumplimiento de funciones (in context)

Spanish to English Bus/Financial Human Resources Outsourcing
Asimismo, asistiremos a las distintas gerencias de la Sociedad para establecer ***metas de cumplimiento de funciones*** junto con procesos de evaluacion simples y objetivos para determinar mensualmente el componente variable de los sueldos (Bono de desempeNo).

My dilemma here is that (1) my client is not reachable today, (2) I have to deliver this translation to the target reader within a couple of hours, and (3) I'm not sure whether "funciones" means "manager's role" -which is probably the case, as there is a monthly performance bond involved- or "employee duties" -which might apply, because the company is a large multinational.

Can anybody suggest a safe way out?

THANK YOU!

Clarification My client phoned me when I was about to complete the translation and told me that all employees get a monthly performance bonus in this company. (Lucky people!!)

Edited before delivery Additionally, we will assist the various managers’ offices in establishing performance goals along with simple, objective appraisal procedures to monthly determine the variable salary component (performance bonus).

CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM WILL BE WELCOME!

SOLVED! As it often happens when I post questions here...
It's "PERFORMANCE GOALS," I'm 100% sure :))

BTW, monthly doesn't work where you have it... I would stick it at the end of the sentence (first choice) or (second choice) after determine.

duty performance goals

Likewise, we shall assist the different managements of the Company in order to establish duty performance goals, as well as simple and objective evaluation processes to determine the variable components (performance bonus) of the salaries monthly.
I think that "duty performance goals" refers to the goals of the managements of the company, not to the goals of the manager.
Hope this helps!
