Addressing a “Key” Question:
Why do we use merchandise for employee rewards?
Merchandise, unlike cash, travel or gift certificates, is not taxable to the employee when used to recognize safety and tenure. Employees will receive the full value of their reward plus a long lasting reminder.
Do you pay a fair wage to your employees? Of course you do. The Points To Safety process is a way to reward and recognize, beyond wages, for safe performance as part of their job. You should not pay additional wages for this expected performance.
Let’s analyze the $200 cost per employee: If you were to use the annual cost of $200 as a monetary wage increase, after taxes, each employee would receive less than $3 per week in his or her pocket. This is hardly memorable. A single trip to McDonald’s would barely be covered.
When employees are accumulating points in recognition of their safe employment, a totally different mindset takes place. They will save points for a reward for themselves or their family and use the merchandise for years to come. If they had received cash, it would have been spent and forgotten. In this case, cash is not king.
