Good businesses listen to their employees. Most of the major companies have an Employee Suggestion Program. Some of these include financial incentives.
Note: Employee Suggestion Programs and any incentives are discretionary on the part of the employer. Incentive schemes are formal commitments in accordance with the terms of the scheme. Employers are obliged to honor their incentive programs. Failure to do so may be actionable. When accepting suggestions, it is necessary to show that you're living up to your commitments under the Employee Suggestion Program. |
Any correspondence, therefore, has to be done accordingly.
The example below relates to an administrative suggestion which is considered to be likely to result in major savings to the firm. A financial benefit is payable under this Employee Suggestion Program.
