Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / December 2004Christmas bonus for dental employees
Cash? Gift? Smile? jwn dds > Cash? > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > jwn dds I think I brought this one up a year or two ago. I'll bet you get a variety of opinions All my employees have been here for over 1 1/2 years. I have given cash forever. I'm sure it's expected at this point and if I didn't they would pull a Clark and Cousin Eddie on me. This year I budgeted $300 each. I wonder why though. Last year IIRC there was not *one* acknowledgement. carabelli > This year I budgeted $300 >each. > >I wonder why though.

Unfortunately, being generous soon becomes expected. Whatever you do ,,,,,, do NOT call it a Christmas bonus. You will stuck doing it every year, and become the prixxx the first year you cannot afford to give more than last year. We do a Holiday dinner at a nice restaurant with the entire staff and all their spouses and children. I pick up the tab. It usually occurs after the first. Small gifts for the staff are usually presented at that time. If the previous calendar year went very well, and bills are all on time on January first, I will figure out what I can afford and will give some cash as well. The cash clearly is not a bonus, but rather a gift of appreciation. Some years, the cash gift does not occur. We then do annual performance evaluations in February with salary increases to staff members who improve and work hard (usually everyone).  Signature~+--~+--~+--~+--~+-- Stephen Mancuso, D.D.S.

Sure it wasn't a blue angle because they don't seem to last that long. Come and gone.

TW | > | >>>I wonder how much longer that will be the case? | > | >> [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] | Did you mean angel or angle? | TW Being a Christmas bonus discussion, I undoubtedly meant Angel erroneously spelt Angle. Not a good day for me. Spent 1/2 the night working on a set of dentures I forgot I promised someone they could have for their Thursday appointment. Got them done on time for the appointment. Then found out the patient was booked for next Thursday, I just wrote down the wrong Thursday. They got them early, they are happy, and I have one less thing to do next week. -- Roy [clip] > | > | >The new twenty has some peach color to it. > | > | [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > -- > Roy On the up side, that's one way to get ahead of schedule! I figured you meant angel but the trouble was, I didn't have a bill to look at to check for blue angels or blue angles (as in some sort of lines???) !! Take care and get some rest tonight, Roy.

They are getting a little more colorful on the front now. Still good ole greenbacks though. -- W_B Take out the G'RBAGE wubbabubbazG@RBAGEyahoo.com > | > Cash is also the gift that never gets returned. > | [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > -- > Roy Hey, you guys are actually very funny. From SMD in 2001 http://tinyurl.com/4rraa carabelli I try hard to make the smile and a thank you every day. Instead of saying goodbye at the end of each day, I always say "thank you for helping me out today." Or, "Thanks for being yourself today". Something along those lines. Then, every once in a while, (no correlation to any Holiday or time of the year) slip them a fifty or a hundred dollar bill with no paper trail. Just a gift for working hard and being themselves. I suppose the IRS would like to get in on this, but I don't claim it as a business expense either. So the net tax to the IRS stays about the same. Depending on the year, this may occur once or up to four times. I try to keep it totally unexpected. Signature~+--~+--~+--~+--~+-- Stephen Mancuso, D.D.S.
