Precisely, the management would be able to decide that whether reward should be monetary or non-monetary.

On the contrary, every human has a different psychological pattern, and some employees may consider this as a wrong practice. As they would be creating a false and negative image about the company at a very initial stage, it would affect their output level deleteriously.
