Editor's Note
We all know that the economy is bad and that companies are
trying to find ways to cut back. The research done for today's
top story on the economy suggests that companies are cutting
back in the bonus and party departments. It's my guess that some
companies out there have found innovative ways to reward
employees without necessarily spending a lot of money. We'd like
to share some of your ideas with our readers, maybe give them
some suggestions for their own businesses or ideas they can pass
on to their clients. Please contact me, or place a comment at
the bottom of the story on holiday parties and bonuses, if you
have come up with alternatives to the traditional year-end bonus
or holiday party.
Best regards,

what type of gift would be appropriate?

religious observance, and employers giving end-of-year bonuses
and hosting holiday parties, all can have legal consequences.
