William Hill Motivates Employees

The gambling group has a scheme for GBP3.5 million pay-out in employee share buying initiative William Hill plc, British online and land gambling group, is stimulating some 700 employees who signed up in its specially discounted share buying scheme with a GBP 3.5 million pay-out planned for this year as the company share prices rise. According to its HR, employees could be benefiting from a share price that has grown from GBP 1.83 in July 2009 to last week's GBP 3.13. The ten-year-old scheme for employees gives them a real stake in the success of the company by allowing them to make monthly investments of between GBP 5 and GBP 250 a month over either three or 5 years.
