"Ob der Bonustopf nach der Systematik dieser Betriebsvereinbarung zur Auszahlung kommt, hängt ab [sic] von der Erreichung einer definierten Messgröße."
The above is from a Betriebsvereinbarung about staff appraisals and bonuses.
I have checked the Kudoz glossary for Systematik and there are a couple of entries there, but I'm still uncertain what to do with the above.

procedural framework
... you could also use "system" ... but that's not as precise

Harald Moelzer (medical-translator)
: valid option - "Systematik" is used in a "flowchart" sense here...

scheme, arrangement
as in 'according to the scheme...' or (less grandiose) 'as described in...'
Jonathan's 'according to the logic of' might also work if it fits the circumstances.
I have the impression that 'System' is starting to lose its lustre as a magic word in Germany, but for a while just about anything with a logical structure could be labeled 'System', and of course the abstraction 'Systematik' is even better.

Btw, the original is formulated rather clumsily.
