Hello Karen,
Otra posibilidad que quizás tenga sentido al estar junto a "incentivos".
No dudo ni descarto que haya otras opciones.

Como bien dice arriba este \"plus\" o \"bonus\" puede ser en forma de dinero en efectivo, bonos o bienes en especie. Me imagino que se refiere a una especie de \"gratificación\" al empleado.

gratificación f incentive, extra, bonus
