Do you get a bonus, if so how much?

[MustBeGinOclock]

I get £30. It's better than nothing and I'm grateful 🙏 usually get wine for Christmas with it.

£40 this year
Down from £50 the previous years but better than nothing

Nothing

Nothing, plus we have a leave embargo for the Christmas period which doesn't get lifted until November so nobody can really make any plans.

I don’t get a bonus, however one of my lovely learners got my a fantastic hamper of tea and biscuits which I was incredibly grateful for ☺️

Yeah, Dh gets a pretty hefty annual bonus but there are triggers most of which are not directly under his control etc. he’d rather have the guaranteed income of a higher actual wage. Lots of private sector workers are also not getting bonuses or quite paltry ones.

Hmm... I'm in the HEI sector. Not only do we not get a bonus, we're up financial shit creek with the govt washing their hands of us, so no pay rise either.

Nope. Our pay rise backdate usually ends up being our bonus equivalent but we rejected the offer this year.

Nope, nothing.

No bonuses for husband either. They used to give him quite a bit of extra money but they they decided that was only for those at the top of the tree. Those in the middle and below were deemed fit enough for some wine and chocs but now even that's stopped. This year they were told they could have a buffet but they needed to bring their own food!

Can't think why he's leaving in January lol (actually it's more than that but the way the bosses disregard the efforts of those below them hasn't helped).

£200 plus a hamper and an early finish on Christmas eve

Coffee shop.
Between a team of six of us we have had roughly 2k to split and enjoy. A lot of it as cash, some had to be spent on party/booze and then receipts shown to claim back.

I’m getting a paid for Christmas dinner out as a volunteer.
In my first job I used to get an entire weeks wages!
In my second job I used to get Christmas dinner out and £50.
@Standingontheedgeofforever I has free Christmas-lunch for 25 years when I worked in higher education.

Well obviously a pay increase, although we didn’t get 4%

I’m not complaining about lack of bonus, was just contributing to the thread.

Private sector, performance based, approx 10% of salary. It's paid in Dec wages which is always lovely

€150 voucher (same for everyone)
1/2 day on Xmas eve and 27th off this year

Christmas meal for me. We could have opted for a £30 gift voucher instead but I preferred the social outing. DH received wine/chocolate. Hugely more lowkey this year but both our companies have announced redundancies so not really surprising. In the past, the best was a Fortnum & Mason's hamper followed by a M&S hamper then various amounts of giftcards.

Nothing for me but my DH gets one of those vouchers you can use in many shops. £40 this year which is more than normal. I'll use it to get nice food bits from M & S which I couldn't justify paying for without it.

yes, the amount varies

The last couple of years I've got £600, just waiting to hear if we will get one next year!

A better grade than I thought I would get on my assignment and a card with some thoughtful words and beautiful prayer from the church wardens at one of my placement churches. My Rainbows parents all put together to get me some wine and flowers (but I also have my birthday over our Christmas break)

Same

Nothing here - public sector, so not expected. Might get a bottle of wine if you have a nice boss (I dont, so I didn’t!)

We get a 'Christmas gift' of £24 for every whole day we work per week.

My second job, absolutely nothing.

I get £10.

1 company I worked with, the amount you got was on a sliding scale depending on how senior you were and how many hours you worked. So the manager got £40 which was quite a lot in those days and the Saturday girls (I was one of them) got £3.50. Which was equal to the price of one portion of fish and chips.

Should have been the other way round!

My husband does but as I currently can't work due to my illness we get income based benefit top up and it counts it as wage income and stops the benefit for December so actually we often come out with less than we would otherwise and end up struggling.
