Do you recieve bonuses from you company?

[Static911]

If so, how much typically (percentage compared to your yearly wage) and when?

[Whitecloak]

yes...
with this slowdown in the IT industry, salaries are getting restructured so that the bonus becomes a major component. In my case its around 30%

 

[Static911]

30% wow

static911

 

[chuckieland]

yes, not too much
just two month salaries for bonus

 

[Emulex]

no. I make my own cheeze on the side doing IT consult, smart card work, chip tuning, ebay'ing..

IT is hard to get anything these days, you're lucky if you have a stable job!

 

[Whitecloak]

some of my friends in other companies have upto 50-60% as their bonus component.

 

[LAUST]

yep 15% at end of year

 

[Static911]

a new question:

do you expect a bonus? From performance? Just cuz?

Only working part-time (only 18yrs old) but I still get a Christmas bonus. Its been going up every year. This year, I'll be about a month's worth of pay (100 hours @ $10.50) - give or take. Not much, but I'm happy.

Edit:

<< IT is hard to get anything these days, you're lucky if you have a stable job! >>


Ironically this has been the best year the company has ever seen and my boss(s) have asked me to work full time.

i would expect a performance bonus of course. what i meant in my previous posts about the bonus component was the percent of salary that was originally promised to me/my friends at campus that has now being converted into a variable portion as a result of the slowdown.

Hard to get....20% of total earned income.....there ain't no salary for a Truck Driver!

 

[Ferocious]

Mine is roughly 15% of my total compensation.

 

[TheNemesis]

I get a five dollar gift cert if we go 100 days without an accident, does that count?

 

[N8Magic]

~10% of gross, payable in quarterly installments, so you don't spend it all in one place.

 

[RC5Bri]

I'm an electrical engineer, and we get a Christmas bonus that is about 3% of our salary. This is a little less than one extra paycheck. Although, with the economy the way it is, I am not sure if that will still happen

 

[TrevorK]

I got a $100 Christmas bonus....Pathetic, eh? That's like $5 american!

100 days without an accident? Do you work in a mine?

 

[NetworkDad]

Roughly 10% at the end of the year, in one nice big fat check (minus taxes!)

 

[thereds]

Like a bonus for what?

 

[Wallydraigle]

Less than one week's pay around Christmas.

 

[rh71]

What a joke it is... I barely get 4% of my income... then Uncle Sam swoops in.

I got a $3000 ataboy about a month ago. I'd much rather have a higher salary than bonuses though. They tax bonuses a lot higher than regular salary. That bonus check was $1700 after taxes!
