AIBU are you getting any christmas bonus this year ?

[LidiaM]

hi. just wonder if anyone is getting a christmas bonus from the company you work for ? if So ? how much
we are so tight this month and my husband has been told few months ago that this year he would expect a christmas bonus, I have no idea whato to expect , whether it can be a simple £20 or more ??

One of our customers have me a box of soap the other day, does that count?

I remember the days we used to get an extra half a days annual leave for christmas shopping. This was NHS and as staff we really appreciated it - it was great for morale.

Long gone now though. The shopping day I mean. Cant comment on morale!!

I don't receive a bonus nor increase in hourly pay for working Christmas day, yet again third year in a row.

I don’t get a bonus but dh does
At Christmas he gets a 20 m&s voucher
His actual bonus is in April I think...usually 1.5k up to 2.5k (related to business performance...not personal performance)

Nothing, nada, rien. I work for a charity. They don't have the money to pay bonuses.

I got £150 - it usually varies due to how well the business has done but the most I got was £200 a couple of years ago

Ours was taken away from us in September, I'd had one every year for 20 years previously.

Wouldn't you get more useful answers if your husband asked his colleagues, rather than you asking people in wildly different fields of work?

Nothing, I’ll be down 1 1/2 days pay down though due to industrial action (NHS N.Ireland)

Yes, last year it was £250.

Not sure this year, our workshop staff will get £100 plus a £50 supermarket voucher

We regularly give out discretionary bonuses throughout the year when someone goes out of their way

I once worked for a company who put everyone into a draw for a £10 ASDA voucher - we didn’t have an ASDA anywhere near us at the time

A&E. Working the Xmas period. I’ll get as much flu, MRSA and abuse as I like

I used to get a £50 Sainsbury’s voucher, from an employer years ago. I haven’t had anything for a long time and won’t this year.

I'm self-employed, so nothing.

We usually have to take bank holidays from our annual leave allowance - except for Christmas day - so I guess monetarily that amounts to £65.68
(8 hours at minimum wage) - not to be sniffed at...

Public sector here, so absolutely zero. No party, no bonus, nada 😁

Yes, 3%, private sector.

Yes. I teach at an independent school and we get about £1500 extra with our November pay.

I'm getting £100 which considering the shoestring budget we have is unexpected and very generous

£50 m&s voucher

Yes, £10. Rock and roll on the dole.

My MP was voted in again. He designed UC. So thank you Mr. Duncan-Smith for me tenner! 'Twouldn't be Christmas without ya!

I get £100 (public sector). DH would get more (a % if salary, private sector), but he's just changed jobs so won't be eligible this year.

Nope nothing. Was getting £20 each towards a Christmas meal out but the restaurant chosen was miles away and rubbish so no-one wanted to go. Not totally ungrateful though as my job is flexible and I work from home a fair bit at short notice.

I'm self employed so nothing and i also have to factor in the fact that I don't earn anything over the holiday either!

Absolutely nothing. Actually, that's not true. My colleague and I each got one Quality Street-I didn't even get my favourite orange cream!
Working in a school, I do however get to watch my lovely teaching colleagues receive HUGE amounts of vouchers and wine. I'm happy for them but am a tiny bit envious!

We shared a damaged box of celebrations and £10 towards a meal which hou have to attend to receive it, i'd rather have the tenner. Retail. I love my colleagues but can't afford the meal with all the additional expense.
