Does your workplace give Christmas bonuses?

Staff at your workplace is well taken care of.

That is a nice bonus.

Where I last worked (oh gosh, that was about 12 years ago), but boss was pretty chinsy. When I worked there initially, we did get cash bonuses. But then he got "smart" and gave us all frozen turkeys. Back then I didn't have a family and I gladly took in food (though cash would have been nicer) . . . but the employees who did have families who needed the money didn't appreciate the turkeys. And years later as I became the only employee, we just exchanged presents, I guess the "nice" present counted as a bonus.

In Europe in most places you have a full salary in addition to the usual for Christmas.

I worked in only one place that did Christmas bonuses. That was nice. All the other jobs I had, didn't do anything. That's a nice Christmas bonus.

Sometimes it does!

Goodness NO! I have worked for places that gave parties and so forth though..I have never gotten a Christmas bonus though. That would have been awesome.

I am now retired for some years but when I was working, I think every place would do something at the end of the year similar to what you stated.

We are given the mandated 13th month pay , half of which was given last June and the other half this week . Then , usually bonus is being given on the last day before the Christmas vacation . It depends on how much income the company made .

I will know for sure in a few days if our employer is still giving out a Christmas bonus-they only do it when business is good. They give you $50 per month of service, but for me it isn't the number so much as the pure generosity of the act. Last year I didn't know a thing about it until the day that the bonus was to be issued, by direct deposit, our owner sent us a nice email telling us about it and thanked us all. And then in January he will host a huge all expense-paid party. I didn't go last year but my hubby and I may go this year.

That's the extra joy of Xmas. We don't get Xmas bonus,but get the year end bonus.

As I started working in a new company in March this year, I still don't know wether we recieve something. My collegues told me that they recieved a bottle of champan each and you get some extra money if you work the holidays. Years ago, many companies paid fourteen budgets during a year, an extra budget in May and another in December. But, with the economical crisis this got lost and many companies reduced it to twelve budges and the salaries went down.

Since I am for the most part self employed, no we don't get any sort of bonus pay. lol

No it doesn't but I just hope it did.... :) Keep shining and sharing.... Happiness Always.... :)

I used to work for a place that gave hams, last year I did get a huge bonus, but that was not normal (something as part of a buy out bribe to keep people from leaving) this year I am a sub who works when she wants, so no bonus there

We would go out to lunch and take one gift each then draw tickets for each. We didn't get cash bonuses.

One of my former jobs was at an insurance agency. Our boss would take us out to dinner at some posh restaurant. We would exchange gifts (we all got a name of someone to buy for) and then our boss would hand out envelopes. We each received an extra week's pay as a bonus, and his paychecks were quite extraordinary. How I miss those days!

I cannot recall ever getting a bonus in the past when I worked for others.

Nope...we don't get any Christmas Bonus....

$100 and candy is pretty nice
