It's tricky. I haven't had a payrise in my own job for over 3years despite performance grading well above expected. The reason is driven by the market. No one is getting pay rises. However, I do believe you should reward and recognise excellent work. I do annual Xmas bonus, give v nice birthday and Xmas gifts and do lots of goodwill gestures eg nanny can leave early on days I get back early, we had a bout of long term sickness but it was a first and paid full pay the whole time she was sick despite paying for emergency childcare on top.
If they are good and you want to retain top talent then you should reward but this is not always hard cash. Even though, that's always lovely,
