Is there any alternative to raises that don't lower employee performance, like some kind of bonus scheme? Or do you find some unfortunate relation between money vs motivation?

Truly unlimited PTO where you judge employees by their performance. I just spoke to my manager at the job I started late last year and he said it is customary for people to take 5-6 weeks kid a year.

We also have a 401K match with an immediate vest.

I remember reading some research that showed that bonus payments have no or even negative effects on performance for intellectual work.
