Remember that if you do pay incentive pay like this (perfectly o.k. to do
it) that any incentive pay likely then becomes part of the hourly rate
calculation when paying overtime.  So, your installer making $10/hour plus
$100 in incentives who works 45 hours in a week is actually being paid
$12.22/hour (45 x $10 + $100=$550/45=$12.22) and OT would be $18.33/hour,
not $15.
