Are you expecting a bonus this year in work?

[ronnieandtgecat]

I've started a new job at the beginning of the year and for the first time ever there is supposed to be a bonus however company performance has declined so I'm not sure if I'll get anything. I was really hoping I'd get % of my salary but now I'm wondering if we'll get anything at all.

How does it work at your work?

Teacher - got a meal out for working an extra hour per week.

£50 for 12 hours work

Get a free Xmas lunch from school of I serve the students theirs.

Husband - 2k

Laughable bonus and now being tied into an impossible performance regime, introduced in a hurry and now having to be changed as it is not working and has caused real issues with staff moral, so made a poor situation far worse! I am not a fan of bonuses and would rather they paid staff properly, as too often a bonus is used as a carrot to try to achieve something that really relates to poor management within an organisation.

Civil Service, and not a high grade one.

What's a bonus?

I've worked in PR for 25 years and never not once received a bonus.

Full time care assistant- no bonus and working Xmas eve, Xmas day and new years

Financial services-yes about £800-
1000, plus an extra days holiday for Xmas, a hamper in the post and reduced working hours between Xmas and new year if you decide to work those days and not take leave.

I got my Xmas bonus in Nov, this year it was £1500. It was £250 when I started there 7 yrs ago. We finish on 19th Dec until Jan.

I work for Local Government so never get a bonus- however we have had a little pay rise which has been backdated to April and paid in December pay. So it's like a little bonus! Look for the positives lol 😂

We usually get a small hamper or a voucher, not sure if we’re getting anything this year though.

My last bonus was at Kwik Save in 1994 and it was £7. This was about 5 hours wages so not too bad for a Saturday job.

I work for a Local Authority, and we got £10 for ourselves when taking a group of our service users out for a meal. We had to go and the meals were £18, so I had to pay the rest.

We get bonus up to 4 times a year, dependable on if we hit targets etc
It's a % of our quarterly salary.
Not had the last 2 quarters and looking unlikely this time as well

I’m the same I think it works out as about 23p in the £1 actually reaches you, I pay student loan as well. I have set it up with payroll that over my base rate. 90% of my wage goes to pension.

Do you at least get double time I did when working in a care home.

Only if I pay myself one. I’m self employed 😂 oh - and not this year as I was on maternity for most of it.

Same! Don’t even get a Christmas meal

My partner got a fair wedge in similar circumstances. Much more than my NHS pay rise back pay and lump sum back in summer once it was taxed. He is v happy

We get it end of financial year in March..
