Survey on bonuses

[burntcopper]

Question on when your work promises bonuses (whether or not they actually honour this promise)

okay, my work used to promise treats if we made our target (they seem to have stopped). Thing is, I'd always thought one-off bonuses were for exceptional stuff (unless you're a city banker) - for example, at one workplace, we out-performed all the other branches in the region for the christmas period so got a bonus. Not for hitting the target that is possible if we have a good month with normal turnout.

Alas, there is no 'bonus? what's that, then?' field.

Our "bonus" is really a faux-cooperative profit share thing, so if the profit's there, all staff get the extra cash. If we perform brilliantly in other ways, but don't make money, we don't. Bah to this advertising recession.

If staff get a satisfactory annual report they get a "performance bonus" in the princely sum of 200 quid. Taxable but not pensionable, of course.
