No, I don't expect anything but a paycheck at the end of a pay period. Are you worried your employees may read this?

The employer is obligated to compensate you for your time according to whatever employment agreement you arranged when you were hired, nothing more, nothing less. If you want to altruistically give time and effort above and beyond what is necessary, that's your prerogative, but the employer is not obligated to reward you for it, and if you're truly being altruistic, then you shouldn't have anything to complain about, because altruism means to do something without any expectation of recompense. Now, if you're not being altruistic and you are willing to do extraordinary work but because you expect a reward for it, then you should play "Let's Make a Deal". Tell your employer that you're willing to do this-and-that task but only for such-and-such an increase in compensation or a similar arrangement. But if you don't do that, you can't complain ex-post-facto.
