Ford has taken a different approach to saving money and getting laid off workers back to their jobs in Ontario, Canada. According to a story in The Canadian Press, Ford is offering a $50,000 incentive and a voucher for a brand new car to any of the 1,000 employees who are close to retirement who agree to leave the workforce.

About 800 employees were laid off previously and as part of recent collective bargaining sessions, Ford agreed to investments that would create about 600 new jobs at its assembly plant in Oakville, Ont., that would get those people back to work.
