Do you get a bonus in your job?

[thefedupdunlop]

A very nosey question but if you receive a bonus in work what is your job and how much is your bonus?

I work in retail so I never get bonus- it's not a thing for shop floor staff I don't believe

Between 10 & 30k performance based

NHS too. As stated previously, I supply my own stationary and tissues. In conversation with my family this Christmas, I did say that we get access to boiling water like it was some sort of perk. Not going to bash the NHS though - I could go private but I choose to stay.

I do but it's usually about 5% or less. I put it into my pension now. I appreciate the extra money but never expect it.

Yes. Usually 150 - 200% of my salary depending how company has done.

Work for local County Council. So, no. Last job was for a poultry company. Still no. Execs only. 🤬

I work in a big retail bank. The majority of employees aren't eligible for a bonus. The ones who are (at my level) are eligible for up to 25% but most get between 0 and 20%.I always assume £0 as it's non-contractual. I got around 8% last year.

I get roughly 8.5% of my annual salary as a bonus.

I work in retail and have been with the same company for years. In the early days there were bonuses for all staff if certain targets were met /exceeded. The best bonus I had was quarterly and we made the targets in all 4 quarters and got a 10% bonus in each . But there havent been any financial bonuses for about the last 5years except for management 🙄

I get a bonus as a lawyer in an in house role, usually about £14k before tax. I never become blasé about it, I used to work in retail, a psychiatric hospital, hospitality, and lots of other similar jobs when I was younger. We use it to pay for a holiday and save the rest.

And we still get told we are greedy for asking for pay rises in line with inflation! 😂

Heck no! Local government worker , imagine if i did, the local rag would go wild!

i make up for it in pens, envelopes, post it notes and taking in my stuff for the shedder and popping it in the confidential waste.

I'm NHS so nothing, but I did get a voucher for a small £2.50 coffee for getting my flu/covid jab though.

Public sector, so no. I do get 33 days paid A/L though, as a long service thing, on top of bank holidays. Would be great if I ever got the chance to take it!

Exactly! My new leave year starts on Wednesday and i have 6.5 days carry over. So many days I’ve cancelled 😡

Yes I get 2 bonuses a year. Work as an Analyst in the private sector

£50 Sainsbury's voucher - work for a not for profit organisation

Nope. Have worked in social care for last 22ish years. We even pay for our own Christmas do.

Education. We've had a few ad hoc bonuses after pay negotiations but after deductions, pro rata reduction for PT and loss of universal credit I can just about treat myself and the kids to a McDonalds.

I run a small business TO below 500k and give profit shares to my team, they all got 3k bonus this year and I'm going to review in April as well and see if we have profits to give another 3k.

@SlinkyDog1 yes, I could do. Most of my colleagues do. But I'd rather use it for holidays. I'm not quite ready to 'adult' and be sensible yet 🙈

Me too re AL, I’ve got five weeks to carry over, agreed as work pressures mean I haven’t been able to take them. I had 40 days in the private sector. Always took them all.

I’m desperate to leave the public sector.

I work for a nonprofit. It’s barely competitive salaries and not a bonus in sight

We used to, pre-covid. Since then none of us seem to receive a bonus anymore, eventhough the bonus scheme is still in place. I reckon our company is trying to claw back their losses so are purposely finding reasons not to pay us our bonus'

The place I work for is a very large, popular pub chain. We have the opportunity to earn 19% of our wage in bonus' every month and every quarter - based on how well the pub performs overall (profit, cleanliness, inspections etc). We all used to get bonus' but everytime we get close to receiving one now they move the goalposts 🙄

I think it's time we stopped calling some of these bonuses, they're often just part of the overall package. I'm in the process of changing jobs and there's a contractual 5% "bonus". Not really a bonus at all if it's guaranteed is it? Just part of my pay.

I agree with this. 'Guaranteed bonus' makes me laugh - especially when paid out monthly 😂
