    Around the time that you delay or deny promotions or raises would be your best bet.

    ~~~Where I work,,you have to be an employee one year ,,,then after 3 years our employer will match dollar for dollar,,,I think that is a good idea because an employer should not have to dish out money to people that are not planning to stay with the company for a long time,,,,,
