COMP NEWS – A landscape company in Maryland has given each of its employees a special gift – a one-time thank-you bonus ranging between $7,000 and $200,000.
End of year bonuses are always a welcomed sight, but these smiles bear witness to an extraordinary act of corporate generosity.
Ruppert Landscaping gave bonuses of between $7,000 to $200,000 to all employees with a tenure of over one-year, “as a thanks for the role they’ve played in the company’s growth and development.”
A total of 1,200 workers, excluding those in top leadership positions, received the enormous thank you presents which added up to be $28 million.
The company says normal end of year bonuses were not deducted or altered by the gifts, which were announced at staff meetings, nor were any of the other benefits which include 401(K) matching, health insurance, paid time off, and holidays.
CEO Craig Ruppert says that such bonuses are crucial to driving team engagement and communicating the importance of each employee’s contribution.
“Everyone receiving this bonus was instrumental in helping create the value that we’ve been able to realize,” said CEO Craig Ruppert. “This bonus is money that is well-deserved and a way for us to acknowledge the value of our teams’ contributions and the essential role that they will play in our company’s future.”
