United Announces New Shared Rewards Opportunities for Employees

Employees can earn up to an additional $1,200 yearly for on-time performance

CHICAGO.- United Airlines has announced a new incentive program available to the majority of represented employees. These employees can receive up to an additional $1,200 annually, when certain performance goals are achieved.


“We are all focused on operating a good airline that is safe, clean and reliable; and our employees work everyday to achieve an on-time operation for our customers,” says John Tague, executive vice president and chief operating officer. “We are pleased to offer a program that will provide further incentive for our employees and to recognize their efforts.”

The program was developed to create a stronger link between pay and performance against United’s most critical goals providing greater opportunity for all employees to benefit as United improves our performance for our customers.


Under the new program, employees will have the opportunity to earn monthly cash rewards of up to $100 if United achieves a first-place ranking among competitors in Department of Transportation on-time arrival rankings, and a $65 payment if the company achieves a second-place ranking or meets its own stated goal.


Richard Delaney, president and directing general chairman of IAM District 141, said, "Our members deserve to be rewarded for the hard work they perform every day. This program recognizes that work and benefits IAM members in a real, tangible way.”

U.S. salaried and management employees as well as many of our international represented employees will participate in a separate incentive program based in part on an annual financial objective.
