Calculating Intangible Suggestions

Intangible Benefits are improvements in service to the public or any other improvements for which financial savings cannot be measured.

Four factors have been identified to assess the benefit derived from suggestions for which a dollar value cannot be calculated. Rate each factor either 1, 2, 3, or 4 points. The higher the points assigned the more valuable the suggestion. The following factors are to be assigned points:

*Inherent importance/urgency of subject.

Four points for high intrinsic importance, one point for low. A suggestion dealing with savings lives would receive a four.

*Impact or degree of improvement.

Four points for vast improvement or elimination of the problem, one point for minor amelioration of the condition.

*Applicability.

For suggestions that apply County-wide to multiple departments give a rating of four. For those applying to several departments and/or many employees give three points. For those applying to one or two departments give two points. For those applying to more than ten employees in a single department give one point. (Assign 0 points if fewer than 10 employees will be affected by the change.)

*Cost/effort to implement.

Four points for a solution which could be implemented for little cost or effort, one point for expensive or time-consuming suggestions. (Please note, a suggestion may be implemented and award given despite the high cost based on the three above factors, e.g., a suggestion which eliminates a hazard to many employees’ lives.)

*Conversion of evaluation score to an award.

Calculate the total score. The recommendation for award will be based as follows:

14-16 points:

$500

(major improvement of wide applicability)

11-13 points:

$250

8-10 points:

$150

5-7 points:

$75

0-4 points:

$25

(minor improvements of limited scope)
