The average employee cash incentive award is now $732--triple the cost of non-cash awards, according to preliminary findings of a new joint study about incentive awards conducted by the Incentive Research Foundation (IRF) and the Incentive Federation. The cash award is not part of base or variable pay, but rather given as an incentive. Read the White Paper here. Read the Executive Summary here.
