He worked for a public university before his current job, so he certainly didn't get a bonus there. It's amazing to have bonus, unplanned money each year. I feel really lucky. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-spouse-get-bonuses-at-work/page/2#post-899680 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 18:32:40 +0000 Periwinkle 899680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope :( I work for a state university so no :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-spouse-get-bonuses-at-work/page/2#post-899653 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 18:20:21 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 899653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband gets a cost of living increase every year, and on occasion a performance based bonus. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-spouse-get-bonuses-at-work/page/2#post-899642 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 18:13:53 +0000 SupernovaJ 899642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we both do. Funny I saw this topic today. I just had a meeting with my manager today about my yearly increase. Bonus amounts are disclosed in September and paid out shortly thereafter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-spouse-get-bonuses-at-work/page/2#post-899039 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 14:38:04 +0000 yellowbird 899039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Im eligible for bonuses quarterly. I just started working here, so itll be a while before I know if ill get one or not! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-spouse-get-bonuses-at-work/page/2#post-899000 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 14:27:20 +0000 Honeybee 899000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hell no, but that's what you get for working in the public sector. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-spouse-get-bonuses-at-work#post-898949 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 14:13:04 +0000 littlek 898949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We both get bonuses and raises yearly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-spouse-get-bonuses-at-work#post-898888 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 13:53:49 +0000 mrsjyw 898888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we both get an annual, dh also gets quarterly bonuses. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-spouse-get-bonuses-at-work#post-898870 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 13:48:33 +0000 mrs. 64 898870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH gets one a year. Really wish they were not so heavily taxed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-spouse-get-bonuses-at-work#post-898625 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 12:42:18 +0000 FarmWifeGina 898625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, DH gets 2 per year, one after spring fieldwork is completed and one after harvest is finished. He's on salary, which is nice during the winter, but the bonuses help make up for the 90 hours a week he puts in during the busy parts of the year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-spouse-get-bonuses-at-work#post-898620 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 12:40:49 +0000 Anagram 898620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH does, I don't since I work in education. His bonus depends on how the company is doing as a whole AND how his personal performance is. His bonus can be more than my entire yearly salary (but he also might not get it at all, if the company's values go down as a whole).</p> <p>We try to plan as if he won't get it at all. But it's hard not knowing! We find out in January every year and it's pretty awkward around his office because everyone's bonus is different and it's all hush hush. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-spouse-get-bonuses-at-work#post-898607 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 12:37:06 +0000 Grace 898607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but the company hasn't made a profit recently, so it's been a couple years since we've had one. We're supposed to get one this year, but I may lose out on it because I'll be on mat leave when they are handed out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-spouse-get-bonuses-at-work#post-898583 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 12:31:56 +0000 swurlygurl 898583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get a December bonus (fixed amount * years worked - everybody gets the same), and a March bonus (managers are given X amount of dollars to dole out to their staff). I get a yearly 3% raise as well.</p> <p>DH gets pretty much the same as I do </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-spouse-get-bonuses-at-work#post-898579 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 12:30:36 +0000 lindseykaye 898579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I first started at my job we recieved a small holiday bonus, but that lasted about a year before the owner stopped giving them out. We also traditionally receive a raise with your annual review (assuming it is good!) but those were frozen for the last two years. I only received one two years ago because I was promoted so my raise came with my position change.<br /> DH works for a large state university. No bonuses ever for him and he is getting his first raise this summer. It's the first one for state workers in <b>7 years</b>. Though I will say that while his salary is not great, the benefits and insurance are awesome! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-spouse-get-bonuses-at-work#post-898501 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 12:06:27 +0000 Modern Daisy 898501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we both get annual raises and bonuses. They are strictly performance based - but our compensation is kidn of flip flopped - my company has always been way more likely to give me a large percentage raise and a tiny bonus and his is always super stingy on the base pay raise but is fine wtih giving a large bonus. And now that he got promoted, it's estimated that this year will be around 25% of his salary which we are really looking forward to esp with lo on the way!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-spouse-get-bonuses-at-work#post-898494 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 12:03:59 +0000 hilsy85 898494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, it's a huge part of his overall earnings each year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-spouse-get-bonuses-at-work#post-898493 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 12:03:55 +0000 Running Elley 898493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH used to get monthly bonuses based on sales numbers but his position recently changed so he doesn't anymore. When I was working I received a yearly bonus based on how the company did for the year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-spouse-get-bonuses-at-work#post-898490 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 12:02:13 +0000 lavender 898490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bonus? What's this nonsense you talk of? :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-spouse-get-bonuses-at-work#post-898484 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 12:00:18 +0000 mlm2934 898484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>last year was my first year getting an annual bonus, and i just took a new job that also does year-end bonuses based on performance (not sales related, just if you are doing a good job). </p> <p>DH's job just implemented a quarterly bonus based on company profit - he'll get his first bonus starting after the end of next quarter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-spouse-get-bonuses-at-work#post-898404 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 11:35:21 +0000 2PeasinaPod 898404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH has gotten an annual bonus since he started working for his company 10 years ago. </p> <p>I just started to receive a quarterly and annual bonus in January even though I've also been working for my company for the same amount of time. They were a little slow on getting their employees that actually do the legwork some extra compensation! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-spouse-get-bonuses-at-work#post-898394 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 11:32:11 +0000 sera_87 898394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH does, shareholders in April. It's based on profit against budget through the year. It tops out at 2k. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-spouse-get-bonuses-at-work#post-898387 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 11:29:33 +0000 Smurfette 898387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH does, paid out in the fall. Amount varies every year based on how much his division gets, and then is split up by employee based on performance evaluation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-spouse-get-bonuses-at-work#post-898384 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 11:29:04 +0000 fussygal 898384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, I get quarterly ones that are 20% of my salary and DH gets one at Christmas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-spouse-get-bonuses-at-work#post-898370 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 11:24:05 +0000 petunia354 898370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I work with my family and though our salary/base pay is quite average, we do get annual bonuses dependent on how the company performs each year. They tend to be quite large though, like more than what a lot of people make in a year. However, we just moved to a new building and that year we didn't get any bonus, and that was tough because our salary is so small. My dad likes to remind us not to rely bonus money because it is never guaranteed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-spouse-get-bonuses-at-work#post-898369 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 11:24:00 +0000 Dandelion 898369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH gets one around Christmas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-spouse-get-bonuses-at-work#post-898367 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 11:23:09 +0000 DillonLion 898367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LuLu Mom: Yeah DH is in his yearly review right now! So I've got it on the brain :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-spouse-get-bonuses-at-work#post-898362 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 11:21:59 +0000 jillybean218 898362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get a bonus/raise when the state decides they have enough budget to do so. Didn't happen last year, did happen this year (yay!).</p> <p>DH doesn't get any bonuses, but has a lot of opportunities for overtime which he usually takes, so that's extra income we don't budget for. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-spouse-get-bonuses-at-work#post-898356 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 11:20:37 +0000 looch 898356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>None any longer that I am a contractor, but I used to get an annual review and depending on the performance of the firm, a bonus or a goose egg! I've gotten bonuses before that have been higher than my base salary and I've also gotten nothing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-spouse-get-bonuses-at-work#post-898350 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 11:19:14 +0000 LuLu Mom 898350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dh just got one today...WOO HOO! I get a Christmas one and that's it. </p>
