Description close to the text
The report for RBF comes from RCH every end of the month, but when the bonus come it is shared equally, even with ecurity guards RCH staff do more work RBF indicators are from RCH Negative perceptions towards RBF bonus distribution and their influence on social and work relations Perceived unfairness over RBF bonus
I think it is a normal problem for human to fight for money. Sometimes you see someone who doesn’t even put an effort at work claiming that they need more bonus share Money always cause problems Sharing money is a problem
RCH’s work is important but they cannot accomplish this task alone, why then do they need more bonus than anyone else. Everyone deserves the same RBF bonus. Flat rates are fair ‘everyone toils’ A flat rate need to be used for RBF bonuses
When we sit and try to solve our problems here concerning RBF bonus, the RCH staff do not support me because RBF favors them. I see this program has some negative impacts. Just imagine you have a family and you give food to one of your child while the others are looking RBF encouraging conflicts among workers RBF bonus distribution causing conflicts
We normally get our bonuses too late. Sometimes, some people can get their money early while others get it late and we wonder how this is possible The need for RBF bonus to be distributed timeously Bonus is delayed RBF management concerns/problems
Sometimes we do good work and report good data, but during the verification process, somehow we always end up with lower figures. This affects our RBF bonus money. We don’t know what they take into consideration Data is not captured properly RBF data is not captured properly
The thing I don’t like about RBF is that it doesn’t consider the workload. As you can see we are a dispensary here but we do a lot and serve many people, …sometimes more than a health centre but when RBF bonus money come they don’t consider that workload or the number of people we serve Target setting not fair The criteria for setting RBF targets not fair
