Employees - I really need help and opinions

Way back when I was working for someone else the employer who got the best out of his staff was a company who had a minimum and maximum salary. EG. whatever happens you get $10 an hour, but if you do outstanding work you get $15 an hour. Anything between "average" and "brilliant" gets between $10 and $15, depending on how close to "brilliant" you are.

Another boss I had achieved similar results with bonuses. This does not have to be cash, he doubled sales by giving a bar of chocolate to the ten shop assistants who took the most money (out of about 20-30 depending on the day). The chocolate bars cost about the equivalent of about 50c each, so for about $5 a day, the shop took several thousand dollars a day more than the previous manager did, he soon got promoted to area manager.
