How is your Christmas bonus calculated ?

How is your Christmas bonus calculated at work ?

We have metrics and business goals to meet, also quality and compliance numbers to make, least amount unnecessary outsourcing of work to 3rd party vendors, increase growth of base contracts, etc...

Basically each employee can excel and get rewarded at the end of the year. Each person has their 'goals and objectives' at the beginning of the year sent to their boss.

playoffs...PLAYOFFs!!! I mean BONUSES!!! don't talk about bonuses, are you kidding me?

Wish we had Christmas bonuses! We are glad to get a pay cheque 2 times a month let alone a bonus at this time of year.

 

[blupupher]

Whats that?

Never understood why people get paid a bonus for doing what they are paid to do. If you do well, you get a raise next year.

Ha - don't have them but performance bonus in stock - was advised of mine today and he did say Merry Christmas - close enough - will take it.

 

[OVERKILL]

Just based on the year's performance. We get performance bonuses regularly throughout the year as well however.

 

[Kuato]

Our payroll calculates the bonus thusly:

0% * salary = bonus amount

I think I need to change companies.

I got a bottle of wine (I do not drink) and a free lunch with my team tomorrow in the cafeteria. Also a free night of bowling and food like pizza and wings and cocktails after some team meetings.

But no check!!

Typically we get 10% of the per-diem (food for the week out of town) we did not spend for the year. The more we're on the road and less we spend, the more we get (Works for me becasue I'd rather make a sandwich). That is, if the company does well. While the company grew as a whole, there was too many needed purchases (work vans/trucks) at the end of the year to give us bonuses. While they are nice, they're not to be 100% expected. I was going to cash in my vacation for the year, but an unexpected FMLA event happened, so, yea.

Our Christmas bonus is that we get to keep our jobs.

LOL!!!!

My workplace has a Christmas longevity bonus which happens to come in December. After 6 years, it starts out at $200 and after 25 years service it maxes out at $800, pre tax.

All time based, not performance based.

We have a formula that is old and we never meet anymore so we get no bonus. It gets kind of old, year after year, to get the email. Just do away with it or update the formula to something more reasonable for a large, stable company that isn't growing like a startup anymore.

Same here, we get $200 per year of employment. I'm 28 years on the job so it's a nice check. Our longest employed person is 35 years.

 

[AirgunSavant]

Never had the pleasure to get one.
But that said I hope many here get one...!

 

[53' Stude]

I work for a large corporation and don't get a bonus at all and I am one of the better mechanics.

Basically I get a kick in the nuts

 

[Doc8404]

We all get 11.75% of our pay dumped into our 401k each year.
Not really a Christmas bonus but it works!

No bonus. We are basically told yearly we are lucky to have a job instead of getting a raise.
