Giving interest money to an employee as a gift

Q: Can interested monies be given to an employee as a gift?

A: It cannot be given as a gift. If he is eligible and in need then it can be given to him, but not at all as a token of appreciation for his service.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
