- The company's overall annual increment policy will remain the same with some minor changes effective January 2009.
- Increments will be based on individual employee grades, company financial performance, order book position, and industry trends, taking into account recession and inflation.
- Increment percentages will remain tied to performance grades, with the highest increments going to employees rated A+ and the lowest or no increments for grades C and below.
- Actual increments can be 120% of eligible amounts if company exceeds targets, 100% if targets are met, or 80% if targets are not achieved, as determined by the company board.
