Do you receive a Christmas bonus from your employer?
- Thread starter JJH
- Start date
Yes, it starts at $100 and maxes out at $500. You gain $100 each year so you have to be there over 5 years to reach that.
This would have been my mid way point where I reached $300. But yeah, I'm not feeling too confident about getting it this year.
Oh well, I should hopefully be able to look forward to getting $400 next year š¤£

No bonus but gifts, like movie tickets, coffee cups etc. This year though we will get a bonus due working as usual during pandemic....
We get the week between Christmas and New Year's off. That time means more to me than the cash would.
Our company gives a bonus based on hitting sales targets each year, but it usually comes in late Feb or early March. It's pretty substantial, in the five years I've worked in this company we've gotten the bonus every year, and it usually ends up being close to one and a half month paycheck.
This year will probably be the first we don't get the bonus, and honestly I can't blame them too hard for that. Our company saw some pretty rough loss of sales over the year because of the pandemic, and the boss has done his best to keep layoffs at a minimum. I think we only let go 3 or 4 people in a 100 person company.

Typically some type of holiday bonus of a few hundred dollars. Everyone is expecting way more this year because our company has actually done insanely well during COVID. We're also skipping our holiday party which is usually open bar at a museum here in LA so I guess people are expecting those funds to be given to the employees.
My company does annual winsfall bonuses although they're not always around the holidays. It's virtually every year and increases with # of years at the company and your pay (which increases for everyone every year). My first year I got about $1200 but after a number of years I'm pretty sure it'll be significantly higher.
We have a thing called Gain Share... depending on how the whole company does a certain % is put into a fund.. then it is broken out to everyone at an equal % of yearly pay. Lowest we have had is zero.. most 9% of a years salary. It certainly motivates people to work hard and look forward to it. We are a mid sized company and we have had a good year so we shall see in the next couple weeks.
We get paid out for unused PTO. (Better than nothing)
When I used to work for Comcast....HELL YES, they were quarterly.

On top of a Christmas bonus, my employer also pays us health bonus pending our BMI is deemed in the healthy range.
Already heard rumblings it might not happen, but we've been one of the few industries to stay open throughout the pandemic (and they've been making money hand over fist for much of it) so I'm still leaning towards it happening.

100 bucks and they throw a pretty cool holiday party where they raffle off lots of cool prizes. Not happening this year though :( the first year I won a 55" 4K TV. They have anything from gaming consoles to paid trips to Disney world for 4, cruises, and tickets to sporting events. The Disney prize is the one majority of people want.
they allow us to set up a holiday fund where we can place however much money we want from each check and they'll give us a percentage from it. I should have about 3200 bucks in it out of my own pocket.

Same here! Mega company. Better than nothing but still shameful.
I've got a feeling my company is going to worm their way out of it this year. They could easily handle it and it would be great for morale, but will most likely use any excuse they can to not have to give them out.
I would love to be wrong.

Just remembered....Not Christmas but for my 10 year anniversary of working for this company I got a $10 gift card to starbucks...and everyone knows I don't drink coffee. HA!
Some of y'all bonuses are unreal. A whole months extra pay!? If my wife and I both -got an extra months pay for free.....that's like do things we have to plan and save for years for immediately instead kind of money.

Apparently people employed on the German civil service collective wage scheme, which includes scientists give out something near 50% of the monthly wage as a bonus in the November paycheck. Should be something near 1k euros. It's the first time I'll have ever got one, and quite possibly the last, because I've nobody I've known has gotten one before, let alone such a big one.
We get a free company-branded product as a Christmas gift (backpack, fleece, wireless speakers, cooler, etc).
Our company bonus comes at the end of the Fiscal Year (normally first week of April) and is based on employee profit-sharing that goes into our 401k instead of a match. It has ranged in between 6% to 8.5% of my yearly salary in the 5 years I have been here, so I'm pretty happy with it.

I work for a small MSP. Last year we got $1000 bonus checks. Previous years we got little themed festive bags or containers which had gift cards and other items tied to that theme.
