Catrinaf25 Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 We get a small bonus like the week before christmas. Which were thankful for! even if it is small But husband also get paid once a month which means only 2 more checks until christmas. BUT the good news is he is getting a raise this check so were put what he gets for a raise ( $200 I think) and spend that on BF :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeachieKeen Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 We don't get our Christmas bonus til February...no luck on saving it until BF yet.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leefamily23 Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I usually get $100 the last non-pay week before Christmas. So, it's within 2 weeks of Christmas. However, every year we never know if we're getting them because the company isn't doing so hot, but they always seem to come through. Now dh's isn't called a Christmas bonus either. His company has a "longevity bonus". You get "X" amount of dollars for each year you've worked there. It's like $250 for less than 1 yr, $500 for 1-2 yrs, $1000 for 2-3 yrs, then it goes up $1000 each yr until you cap out at $10,000. They release these checks within the first 2 weeks of December. So, I put off as many bills as I can so I have as much money as I can from our regular paychecks for BF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer0530 Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I usually get $50 in my paycheck right before Christmas and DH gets a bonus check sometime in December and his is a percentage of how much he has grossed in the last year. I will probably use DH's bonus check to pay off the CC from black friday if I need to use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spotted1 Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 No bonus here, either. They do get a safety bonus at the end of the year. However, it goes to the foremen, and then it's up to the foremen if they want to share it with their crew. Most don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmkuroda Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 My Hubby gets quarterly profit sharing bonuses so every 3 months depending on wheter the company does well or not we may get a bonus.. The rumor is that this bonus ( the November one) is going to be bigger then the last one and that was over $1400 take home. Last year the bonus was only $350 in November so I never really counted that money as christmas money..This year I may:) Tina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aerosmithgirl Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Hubby gets one for $250 and they are given out at the annual Christmas party, which has been pretty nice the past couple of years. They've given away nice door prizes and we walked out with $50 extra last year. That doesn't happen until mid-December though, so I am unable to use on BF. I have to depend on Christmas Club for that day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knittingarrows Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 I get a nice cash bonus at one of the company's five parties- right after eating a filet mignon with a glass of wine too. I work for the best company - even if I do have to go to FIVE Christmas parties for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlodoj Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 My husband's company does Christmas bonuses based on profit as well as reviews. They don't get their Christmas bonuses until early March. The company says it works out better for their taxes or something. I don't know, but we usually use that money to pay for the stuff we have put on credit cards.
