From Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_works

A public works programme (PWP) is the provision of employment by the creation of predominantly public goods at a prescribed wage for those unable to find alternative employment. This functions as a form of social safety net. PWPs are activities which entail the payment of a wage (in cash or in kind) by the state, or by an Agent (or cash-for work/CFW). One particular form of public works, that of offering a short-term period of employment, has come to dominate practice, particularly in regions such as Sub-Saharan Africa. Applied in the short term, this is appropriate as a response to transient shocks and acute labour market crises.

Issue: Some employer compensation plans provide financial incentives for employees' community volunteer work.

http://www.businessmanagementdaily.com/articles/4209/1/Must-...

A business may establish a personnel policy that credits employees for leisure-time volunteer activities. A corporate personnel policy may offer to record and file volunteer hours for each employee, even when volunteer activities are done during non-work time. Then volunteer hours may contribute to employee evaluations, promotions, or bonuses. Examples of employee credit are:

•for every 20 hours of volunteer work, an employee or retiree receives a free lunch in the corporate lunchroom;

•for every 50 hours of volunteer community work, an employee or retiree receives an appreciation gift from the business; or

•for every 100 hours of volunteering, an employee receives a monetary bonus.
