that points are not being earned.

Employees will be responsible for their own point totals as well
as providing the totals to the Customer Service Committee for review
within seven days of the end of each month.

to the employee that is the subject of the "Caught Ya" and then forwarded
via the comment card box.
(5)
"Red tickets" will continue to be distributed. The program may expand
to allow trading of tickets for awards due to the lack of participation
at the year-end luncheon. For example: one ticket is worth a $5 gift
certificate.
