You can give someone a $175 bonus for being particularly helpful or going above and beyond. Everyone can give 20/year so it doesn't have to be that crazy of an effort to get one (although most people don't give out all 20 and the limit wasn't even enforced for a while).

It technically requires manager approval but it's kind of a faux pas for a manager to deny one unless it's a duplicate.
