Answer 1

There is no such thing as "a proper christmas bonus for a 38,000 dollar salary." The giving of a bonus, be it Christmas or otherwise, to an employee depends generally on one, the profitability of the organization he/she works with/for. There may be nothing to give, in the first place, if it has not been profitable. And two, the generosity of the employer; the more generous the employer is, the more bonuses the employee tends to receive, and vice versa. Of course, the performance of the employee would also have be taken into consideration. To avoid disputes, it is best that an agreement on the details regarding the payment of bonuses should be recorded clearly somewhere. I wish you will get a Christmas bonus that you will be happy and satisfied with. Merry Christmas!

Answer 4

wow half a months salary, I think that is a very good answer. I have made up to 48K a year, and didnt even get a turkey (small towns do that). For you to give a Christmas bonus, you should be proud. That is a good thing to do. Congratulations, as a self employed person you just raised the idea of "boss" in my mind.

Answer 5

I think that two weeks' or half of a month's salary is a decent way to calculate it. But, I also think that merit, demand and appreciation should also be considered when calculating the bonus. If the person is not a 'model' employee, I might consider a round number: $500. But, if they are really valuable assets to the company, I would definitely try to let them know that they are appreciated. I suppose a potential problem arises if you give scaled bonuses in this way and your people discuss amounts -- that conversation is never 100% positive.

Answer 6

If the bonus is coming from his employer, you'd have to ask the employer. Sounds like some kind of signing bonus. The details should have been in the letter he got when he was offered the job. Sounds like maybe it was $10K up front, then the rest spread over 4 years - if that's it, he'd get another $7000 this year, and in 2011, and in 2012.

Answer 7

Is that an annual income?

We called it as 13 month pay. This is how we calculate the bonus:
monthly salary / 12 months x number of months employed = $___

for example:
$3k / 12 = $250
$250 x 6 months employed = $1500
$1500 is what i will get

Answer 8

If your the boss: nothing.
If your the employee: usually a turkey or ham.
My husband has never got a bonus and the hospital I worked for gave a turkey, but a doc I worked for once payed for a trip and also gave me $200 a year.
My son get a large bonus every year but I would not fill right asking him how much it is.

Answer 9

Christmas bonus? Where do you work; I want to apply too!

Its rare to get bonuses anywhere; never mind a proper one. Be thankful for what you get.

Answer 10

First of all, i think you are an idiot calling your employees idiots. Because those idiots under his command are your employees too.
I wonder if one day your foreman cant keep with your expectations, would you call him an idiot too?
And he would get a percent of what you made that year as a whole.
