To ask if you get a Christmas bonus, and if you do how big a percentage of your salary is it?

[mameulah]

I found out tonight that my brother gets a whole months salary as a Christmas bonus. When I worked I got absolutely nothing. I always thought that getting nothing was normal. Or is everyone else out there getting loads of Christmas treats from their boss?

I worked for a small company of 4-5 people for the last 3 years.

I got a bonus of between 1-3k plus a Xmas trip with work to Paris one year, Rome another, Prague last year.

Also the standard Xmas meal out.

My boss was fucking. Hard work but very fair

No. I work for a university so not very surprising.

Until very recently we got a Christmas tree from college woods, which I thought was really quaint and lovely, but that stopped.

Public sector, we haven't had Christmas decorations up as a show of respect for several years now - they always do the first round letters in December so traditionally its been... Well crap.

We get two hours in which we can take a team Christmas lunch (self paid) each year there is a great hohar about this being cancelled.

I get nothing other than a small present from the school, e.g. Some bottles of stuff or a piece of school branded clothing. Hubby usually gets about £400. We both earn over £35k.

No never have

public sector

once had an employer send round a tray of mince pies!

Emergency services. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha

That it all

DH works extra hours (incl working his days off) over Christmas, and gets an extra week's pay to compensate. He is in retail, and he earns it quite thoroughly!!!

I work for the NHS. No, we don't get a flippin' bonus. Or as the previous poster said 'Ha ha ha ha'

Don't worry about what your brother gets or anyone else for that matter. That ain't what life's about. Or Christmas

Last year 7k, so about 10%.

Private sector.

We get 2.5% of our annual salary capped at £500. But this is only if we hit a certain profit margin within that financial year. If we don't we get zilch.

We get an Xmas tree and a voucher for a turkey

I got just under 10% (of annual salary) discretionary bonus last year but we get it in March rather than at Christmas. I am hoping for more than that this year as for the last couple of months I have been working in a different role (promotion has been given to me but not formalised yet) so I should be retroactively paid or made up in the bonus.

retail so get to work extra hours (paid at normal rate) on Xmas Eve and Boxing day......
