We will also demarcate the thesis to focus on bonussystem as a form of reward system. </p><p>Research method: We have carried out interviews with a person who represent the trade union and with three employees who represent the three different departments at the company. Interviews have also been made with the person who is responsible for the company’s reward system at Östgöta Brandstodsbolag. </p><p>Result: The study shows that a reward system founds to be very positive among employees, due to that it is an extra compensation that can be received beyond the salary.
