 What is the main advantage of using this program?
 Inspiring and retaining your best staff, demonstrating to your staff that you trust them. This results in boosting your profits and higher productivity levels from your staff. Research proves that employees much prefer working for business's that care about the employees welfare.
How much does it cost to use the Works4Us program?
The costs may fluctuate from time to time,however the principle is the same for everyone. The employer pays a modest annual licensing fee (currently $590) to use the program and a smaller annual fee for each employee that they wish to set up on an agreement. This is less than $5 per week per employee. For an exact price, please go to the sign up page and begin your application. You may have a promotional code which gives you a discount. You can pay by the month once you have paid your annual license fee. This may be in place of any discounts.
How long does it take to set up the program?
Once you've signed up and are in your employer account, it can literally take less than 5 minutes to complete your agreement with your employee. You just need to select the options of the agreement, for example how you want their rewards to be calculated and whether it comes from total sales, their individual sales, total profit or their individual profit. Just three simple entries and we do the rest.
How do you check the account balance?
Once the agreement is set up, you and your employee can log into your respective accounts to view the agreement. You only need an internet connection, a computer or web enabled mobile phone. On an ongoing basis, once a month or once a quarter the employer will need to log in to view and edit the statement for that period of time. The statement will automatically calculate how much the licensee will owe in bonuses, when it needs to be paid and how much is withheld.
So when does the employee get the payment?
The default set up is for quarterly payments of the bonus (usually at the end of the next financial quarter) A percentage of the reward can be put aside and be paid at the end of the completed financial year. For example you might pay half and half or 60% when the bonus is due and the remaining 40% may be put aside for the end of the completed financial year. A bigger christmas bonus for the employee. If the employee leaves the business they are not necessarily entitled to the reward as they agreed to in the sign up process.
Can the bonus be used as time off?
Why Not? The reward credit can be used for extra time off for the employee to spend more time with their families. It could also work to your advantage to have your employee use some of their bonus as time off in quieter times.
Can you use the bonus for any other purpose?
YES. The Works4Us system has a standard agreement schedule which we have drafted with a Business Lawyer. If the employee agrees you can use the bonus credit to purchase tools of trade, additional courses or education, Lap top computers or any item that would benefit the employee's performance before the bonus is due to be paid
Can this be added to a workplace agreement?
YES. The Works4Us system has a standard agreement schedule which we have drafted with a Business Lawyer. You can attach an existing agreement with the schedule and print it off for both parties to sign and you're on your way.The schedule agreement that you sign with your employee is a legal document and was last reviewed by an Australian Law firm in March 2010.

Is this program limited to employees?
