Rewards and penalties can be issued for various reasons that you set yourself. For instance, a reward for loyal clients, punctuality, outstanding work, etc. Penalties can be applied for tardiness, poor job performance, damaged equipment, etc.

To streamline the process, you can create templates for common rewards and penalties to be easily applied in the future.
