It's Safer with Cash
Article Abstract:
Paper Service Company, a small concern which manufacturers paper, used to reward employees with ten dollar checks for every accident free period they had. Annual awards totalled between $2,000 and $3,000, as the company had less than five accidents a year. Now, however, the employees have begun to look beyond their own self interest, and the money is being donated to community organizations such as the Girl Scouts or a peewee baseball team. The company matches the employee money dollar-for-dollar.
