$50 every 3 months?! No wonder they're not motivated.

Under an incentive plan that began in January, employees of the UAL Corp. unit would receive $100 if the airline finishes first among its peers, as measured by the department. If United places second in on-time performance, the workers would get $65.

Through the first three months of 2009, United noted, workers had a first in January, a second-place finish in February and another first in March, for a total of $265 in bonus payments.
