i would try to come up with some kind of point system, assign the point values to each employee, and prorate the total allowed based on this system. For example, you might assign one point for being an employee, one for each year of service, one for reaching a certain level of performance, etc. Sum up the total points, deleting those for people that get no bonus. Each person gets his/her portion of the total. - Bob Feighner - Director, Computer Services - 159 Administration Building - East Central University - Ada, OK 74820 - [log in to unmask] - phone: 580/310-5256 - FAX: 580/436-4563 - http://www.ecok.edu
