Dear Employees, It is to inform you that considering your hard work, dedication, and loyalty towards the company, last week, the Executive Committee decided to institute a compensatory time off policy. That is, if an employee works two or more extra hours beside the basic 40-hours workweek, he/she will be able to claim the same number of hours on any of the alternate workdays while still being paid the full rate. We appreaciate your efforts and hope that you will keep on working with the same level of enthusiasm and dedication in the near future as well.
