To determine the dollar value of each employees incentive award: (1) multiply the employees annual, straight-time wage or salary as of June 30 times his or her maximum incentive award and (2) multiply the resultant product by the appropriate percentage figure from this table. Example: if an employee had an annual salary of $20,000 on June 30 and a maximum incentive award of 7% and if her performance and the organizations performance were both excellent, the employees award would be $1,120 ($20,000 0.07 0.80 = $1,120).
