To encourage us to stay throughout the busy season, the company gave us a similar financial incentive. If we worked past a certain date in August, without taking time off, we would be given an additional 25 cents for every hour worked throughout the summer. Over a 12-week period, this equated to $120, or about half a week's pay. It doesn't seem like much now, but it was an effective motivator at the time.
