this is exactly what i've done as well. when i took this place over, we started a safe harbor (i think i'm using this correctly) where everyone has 3% of their salary put into a 401k for them. it don't match anything, but they also don't have to contribute to get the 3%. i also set up a bonus system that if we break a certain goal for the month, they're given sums based on how much over the goal. i'm also pretty loose on when people take off, or take personal days. i just hate micromanaging. that being said, this office now runs itself. they take care of billing, filling my schedule, and just covering my ass. it's well worth the extra money i may pay out.
