A token fee, like a dollar contributed into the team bug jar? That can be good incentive.

I've heard of Scrum teams using the trick to curb tardiness/absenteeism to the daily Scrum stand-up meeting.

A punitive fee, like a day’s pay? Nope.

On a related note, for one project I was on, if any dev broke the build they were obligated to bring in donuts for the team. Mmmm, donuts.

I am not in favor of any of the above.
