These developers are quite unhappy to see the new salary packages offered to the new web developers.

You are thus requested to devise an interesting performance appraisal and related reward system which meets this objective of motivating staff to increase their performance, maintain good service levels whilst upgrading their education and skills (assume that the existing VB 6.0 developers are getting a salary in the range Rs 6,000 to Rs 12,000 while the web developers who are BSc holders are getting a salary in the range of Rs15,000 to Rs25,000 - note that the software manager earns a package of Rs 50,000 )
