Overpaying analysts

How do PMs balance between overpaying analysts (to the extent they get lazy and complacent after a big year because they have already made $X millions) but not underpaying so they leave? I would imagine that after a huge payday one year an analyst is less likely to stick it out as soon as the fund/team starts underperforming
