PROFIT SHARING
Bruce Sully, president of Champion
Road Machinery Ltd in Goderich,-recently
introduced his employees to a proposed
profit sharing plan.
He told the firm's 1500 employees that if
each employee honestly assessed their
performance and felt they were doing their
job to the best of their ability, Champion
would soon be number one in the industry.
He said that Champion will split all
profits 50-50 with employees each year,
that profits will be the money left over after
investors have been given a reasonable
return on their investment and after
expansion funds have been returned to
Champion.
He explained that each employee will
have the option of taking half of their share
of the profits in cash and putting the rest in
a trust fund or putting all the money in
trust.
