I already knew it was coming (heard from a coworker when they made bonus announcements at the office), but the owners of my company sent me a letter in the mail to tell me to expect it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-bonus-after-maternity-leave#post-2669593 Thu, 22 Dec 2016 20:38:13 +0000 Grace 2669593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinbaderin: I got one too, when I was on mat leave in Canada. It was from August to August, so it was prorated, since I was only back for 4 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-bonus-after-maternity-leave#post-2669590 Thu, 22 Dec 2016 20:30:00 +0000 autumnleaves 2669590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our end of year bonus is the same for all employees who worked full time the year leading up to it. They do deduct though if you've taken maternity leaved during that time. They also offer a merit bonus later on and this was my best one yet even though I was on maternity leave for 10 weeks this year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-bonus-after-maternity-leave#post-2669485 Thu, 22 Dec 2016 16:38:21 +0000 MrsSCB 2669485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm getting mine (tomorrow, yay!) but it is prorated. Basically I'll be getting a bonus for three quarters. I was out 16 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-bonus-after-maternity-leave#post-2669479 Thu, 22 Dec 2016 16:23:12 +0000 Mama Bird 2669479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, both years when I was on leave I was out in December but got the bonus anyway. It was really nice and I wasn't expecting it, especially the second time when I took longer leave. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-bonus-after-maternity-leave#post-2669457 Thu, 22 Dec 2016 15:44:08 +0000 hellobeeboston 2669457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got mine while I was still on maternity leave. They always come the second week of December and I didn't return to work until January 2.... It was a bit lower due to the leave of absence (ugh), but I still go tit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-bonus-after-maternity-leave#post-2669413 Thu, 22 Dec 2016 14:46:56 +0000 thepicklemonster 2669413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am in the middle of at leave and did not get a bonus because I didn't meet my billable hour requirement (lawyer), but I just found out I got the same annual raise as everyone else at my level. So that's good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-bonus-after-maternity-leave#post-2669411 Thu, 22 Dec 2016 14:44:00 +0000 Freckles 2669411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, mine is prorated. For my most recent mat leave I only worked for 1 month out of the year and i still received a prorated amount. While i was away on mat leave i received the full bonus amount because i worked the entire year prior to going on leave. </p> <p>It would suck if you didn't get a bonus because you were off for only 3 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-bonus-after-maternity-leave#post-2669387 Thu, 22 Dec 2016 14:29:49 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2669387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine isn't prorated, but I will receive a prorated bonus this year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-bonus-after-maternity-leave#post-2669366 Thu, 22 Dec 2016 14:16:27 +0000 MarieJ 2669366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did back in 2014. I left for maternity leave at the end of October, received a bonus in December, and went back at the end of January. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-bonus-after-maternity-leave#post-2669364 Thu, 22 Dec 2016 14:13:53 +0000 agold 2669364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: I would be happy with anything. I was so happy to just have 3 months off of work that a bonus on top would be a dream. </p> <p>@erinbaderin: That's amazing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-bonus-after-maternity-leave#post-2669359 Thu, 22 Dec 2016 14:10:28 +0000 erinbaderin 2669359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My neighbour just got hers, which I found shocking because as a Canadian she's been on mat leave for literally the entire year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-bonus-after-maternity-leave#post-2669357 Thu, 22 Dec 2016 14:07:20 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2669357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would hope youre at least eligible for a pro-rated version. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/christmas-bonus-after-maternity-leave#post-2669355 Thu, 22 Dec 2016 14:06:06 +0000 agold 2669355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If your work does discretionary bonuses at the end of the year, did any one receive one after having taken maternity leave? I'm just a month back after having taken a three month maternity leave and am wondering if I will get a bonus this year. </p>
