A lot of this depends on what you mean by 'loyalty'. Giving someone double pay strongly motivates them to not lose their job, and significantly increases the amount of money it would take to make them decide to steal from you or sell you out, but it doesn't make them love you (it probably makes them like you more), it just changes the economic calculation.
