[PIUG List] Incentives for employee inventors

I have been asked by my employer to research the issue of incentives and
rewards paid by companies to their employee inventors. I am aware of the
little used sections 39-43 of the Patents Act 1977 (as amended). I have
also found much discussion of the German statutory provisions.

What I would like to find are examples of schemes operated by UK
companies to provide incentives/rewards to their employee inventors.
What kind of rewards are paid and at what stage(s) of the process.

If any readers could give outline details of schemes with which they are
familiar, I would be very grateful
