the pros and cons on implementing an employee cost savings incentive
monetary compensation program. He stated that he was informed by the
Director of Human Resources for the City and County of Honolulu that
their employee incentive program is at a standstill because of the lack of

Attorney Bracken responded according to the HR Director the maximum
amount was set at $2500 before taxes which is considered added income

earned is made after taxes.
