Bonus Programs

Performance Pays: Earn More When You Bring Your Best

We reward team members who show up consistently, work safely, deliver quality results, and live our company values. The programs below give you the chance to earn on top of base pay.

Important Information

Specific criteria for each program are in its detailed sheet.

Programs can change as business needs evolve — we’ll give advance notice when possible and communicate changes through team meetings and written updates. We’re committed to fair, transparent incentives, and we want to hear from you if something’s unclear, you have ideas to improve a program, or you think a calculation was wrong. Reach out to the Management Team via WhatsApp.

This guide is informational and not a contract of employment. Employment with Green Garden Landscaping is at-will. Bonus programs may be modified or discontinued at any time.

Bonuses may be forfeited for:

  • Safety violations or incidents
  • Policy violations (attendance, conduct, equipment damage)
  • Failure to meet minimum performance standards

Google Review Incentive Program

Bonus: $20 per qualified review

  • Ask satisfied customers to leave a review after you complete excellent work
  • Share the review link or show the QR code (see below)

  6. Who to Ask
    • DO ask: Customers who compliment your work, seem satisfied, or express appreciation
    • DON’T ask: Anyone with unresolved complaints, concerns, or who seems unhappy
  • “If you’re happy with the job we did, could you leave us a Google review? My boss gives bonuses if we provide good service to our clients, and it would really help me out.”
  • “Hey, I know you’re busy, but if you’ve got 60 seconds, a Google review would really help me out. We’re competing for rewards based on feedback, and your opinion would make a big difference!”
  • “Customer reviews help other homeowners find us. If you’re pleased with your yard, I’d be grateful if you could leave a quick review. It supports our whole team!”
  • “Glad you’re pleased with the work! If you have a moment, a quick Google review would mean a lot.”
  • “Customer reviews help us grow and keep our team working year-round. If you’re satisfied, we’d be grateful for your feedback online.”

The employee who generates the most qualified 5-star reviews each month gets a $50 bonus on top of the per-review bonuses.

Employee Referral Bonus Program

Purpose

Reward team members who help Green Garden grow by referring quality candidates who become successful, long-term employees.

  • Submit your referral to: Referral Submission Link
  • If your referral is hired and successfully completes their first 90 days, you earn a $500 bonus.

Bonuses are subject to applicable taxes and will be processed through payroll.

  • All referrals must go through Green Garden’s standard hiring process—a referral does not guarantee employment.
  • You must be actively employed at Green Garden when the referral completes their 90 days to receive the bonus.
  • If multiple employees refer the same person, the first documented referral receives credit.
  • Former Green Garden employees do not qualify as new referrals.

Thank you for helping build a stronger team—your referrals make a real difference!

Attendance Bonus Program

Purpose

For select months that we announce, any crew member who shows up every single scheduled workday will have their 30-minute lunch paid by the company for every workday that month. This program is not permanent — we will communicate qualifying months in advance through WhatsApp.

Show up every day you are scheduled. That’s all it takes. For every workday you complete during a qualifying month, that 30-minute lunch is on us.

Any absence from a scheduled workday removes you from the bonus for that month — no exceptions. This includes day-of call outs, pre-planned absences, excused absences, and unexcused absences. If you were scheduled and did not show up for any reason, you do not qualify.

The only exception is if we as a company did not have you on the schedule.

This is our way of rewarding the people who show up, put in the work, and keep this team running. If you’re here every day, we’ve got you.

Thank you for showing up!

Project Bonuses

Purpose

Projects are different from our regular maintenance work, they’re often bigger, more complex, and require more planning. This program rewards team members who help us deliver project work efficiently, on time, and right the first time.

  • Completing the project within estimated hours
  • Quality of work — done right, no callbacks
  • Time management throughout the job
  • Overall client satisfaction with the result


This is not a guaranteed bonus. Whether a bonus is earned, and the amount, depends on how the job goes and will be communicated before the project starts.

Stepping up for project work is a great way to show you’re someone we can count on for this kind of opportunity. It doesn’t go unnoticed.

This is our way of rewarding the people who put in the work and help this team run efficiently on the jobs that matter. Show up, do it right, and we’ll make it worth your while.

Thank you for all your great work.
