creative forms of compensation for instructors – need ideas!

let’s say you’re an instructor and you might be reaching the max monetary compensation the studio can feasibly provide (or that they are willing to give). you already get the standard 40 hours paid sick/leave time annually. what are some creative ways you would want to be compensated?

for example, getting paid for late cancellations or no shows in group classes. (the studio already charges a separate fee to unlimited clients or they lose a class credit if they have a class package, but instructors aren’t paid for those empty reformers.)

another example, getting paid for a full class regardless of how many clients are booked into it. (this would be beneficial if you work at less popular class times, during summer break or other holidays when regulars tend to travel more, etc.)

any other ideas that might make you want to stay even if you can’t get a pay increase on the payroll?

UPDATE: let’s say you really like your job, the studio, the clients, your coworkers, the management, but you make an amount of money as an instructor that is on the higher end for this profession and being paid more money might stop being an option. thinking outside the box, what are some things that could keep you there regardless? like a monthly stipend to spend on clothing in the studios retail section or being able to request the studio purchase a specific prop (24 of them) that could benefit your classes.
