How Do You Budget for Rising Employee Wages Without Cutting Into Their Own Pay?

Could you set aside a small percentage of quarterly profit for a team bonus pool? Employees could qualify after 90 days, and longer-serving employees could receive a slightly larger share. I would include the office staff because their work also supports revenue .

Even a small quarterly pool could help employees feel included in the company’s success. If the individual payout is too small to be meaningful, the business could use it for a team lunch or another shared reward instead.
