At the present time, we do not have an employee recognition program in place.
When they improve sales by 15% over prior year they receive a bonus of 1% of month total divided among them by productivity per hour. If they just improve over last year they receive a gift.  They also receive birthday and Christmas gifts. $20 for same day appointment and sale.
