I'm looking for information regarding payroll deduction in your Gift Shop.
What percentage sales increase did you experience after the implementation of payroll deduction?
What limit do you place on payroll deduction?
Any other information you can share would also be helpful.
Thanks, Susan Grier
Our Gift Shop has a $300 limit on payroll deduction. This can be paid at one time or have $40 or $25 removed per pay to pay off your total.
I understand the Gift Shop has offered payroll deduction for at least 19 years- so can not comment on increase. However 75% of our sales are payroll sales.
We did not see a jump in sales when payroll deduction was added. What we did see was that many of the reliable customers switched to that mode of payment.
We only offer payroll deduct as a payment option to those employees who accrue vacation (it helps shield us from losses when pool employees do not return) and we limit to $150.00
We do not set a limit on how much an employee can put on a payroll deduct charge, however, we require a minimum $50 to split it once and $200 to split it over 2 pay-periods.
We've been offering payroll deduction forever so I can't answer the question about sales increases, however many of our employees take advantage of this benefit. Our current system is rather antiquated so we're in the process of bringing it into the 21st century, but our guidelines will stay pretty much the same. We have a $200 credit limit. Each pay period we deduct half of the outstanding balance with a minimum $20 deduction (or the entire amount if the balance is less than $20). We are switching to a system that will allow employees to scan their ID badge. I anticipate increased sales with this move. This was a very popular addition to our cafeterias about a year ago and many employees expect the same option in the gift shops. They are disappointed when they find out we're on a different system.
