BTW, just to add to my previous post, I don't think it's
proper for a manager to "ding" an employee who works the
minimum and does just enough to satisfy job requirements
and performance objectives.  If they work the required hours
and do the required work, they've done their job and earned
their salary.  It's when eval, incentive and promotion times
roll around and they find they get nothing extra for doing
nothing extra that their chickens come home to roost (not
to mention when it inevitably comes time to rank your people
and pick the ones at the bottom of the list for layoffs).
As a manager, it's up to you to make it abundantly clear
that incentives and advancement are not a default part of
compensation and that in order to get "bonus goodies" it's 
necessary to put in "bonus effort," and then see to it that
those who do are rewarded consistent with their contribution
to the organization and not just hand out some std % to
everyone at bonus time.
