Well?

Fixed remuneration of 14 salaries a year (Austrian standard).

(Our boss pays us a voluntary Xmas extra, but it's small potatoes, about a 1/4 salary, which gets fully taxed as opposed to the regular 13th/14th salary.)

I get a bonus based supposedly on my personal performance. However, there are guidelines how much they want to pay across divisions, that does typically not reflect your true performance but often seniority etc. That's a percentage of my fixed salary. Additionally, I get a bonus based on how well the company is doing which is based on return on sales. That's a fixed sum.

No bonuses for moi.

I'm a civil servant, so no. 

I don't even have a job.

And I didn't back when I had one. We were lucky to get overtime.

Currently, most of my pay is determined by the production status of the projects I work in. As in, the further along it gets to actually being produced, the more payments get cleared. And then there's usually another variable depending on the final budget and in some cases even some backend (I have never seen a dime from that though, yay movie/tv accounting). Dunno if that's "personal" or "company" performance. Suppose the latter.

There's also the royalties, but it's not "pay" I suppose.

Yes.  One of my jobs at least pays extra for personal performance.  Working in bars does that. :lol:

Yes, based on both personal and company performance.

Yes, both. But they're both in pretty modest ranges.

Last contract I got, preparing a public tender for a company, had a bonus attached in case the tender was won, so I guess that was a company performance thing.

Yes, it's based on personal performance, unit's performance, I would assume company's performance, and it obviously averages to a higher percentages the higher up you are.

Yes, in theory it's based on both performance & company results but in the ends, it's just some number between 1 and 4.5% of your based salary.

2% across all employees, this year.

I get no bonuses now.  Previously, I only got "performance sharing", which as a percentage bonus based on business metrics.

Just ran the numbers and on my last project the maximum amount of boni I could accrue would amount to 60% of my pay.

Present job, no.  Job I'm starting on the 24th, yes, personal performance incentives.

There were bonuses at one point for those of us working for GOA.

They were stopped after 2008, and have not returned.

I get a couple hundred bucks in the spring depending on how the company did the previous year.

I haven't had a bonus for about 20 years.

Those aren't bonuses, that's part of the job.

I used to get a bonus tied to company performance - everyone got the same bonus. Last time I remember it was 21% of salary. The good old days :weep:

I haven't decided on any kind of bonus scheme yet. Since I'm the boss, any kind of bonus I may pay myself comes down to company performance since we'd need to have money to pay out.

I don't understand the word 'bonus'.

There's rumours we might get performance/precision based bonuses. So passengers who are a little late for trains in the future now have less chance of making it on, even if they're hot.

My bonus based on personal performance is between 0 and 30% of my base salary. The average of all employees of a division should be around 15%.
My bonus based on company performance is less than a monthly salary, maybe about 70% of an average monthly salary.

Are hookers variable?

I think "flexible" is a more common attribute.

And rarely based on personal performance.

Yes, based on personal and company performance.

Was about 5% of salary last year, but we were being sold, so I don't know what it will be this year, but it is supposed to be disbursed at the end of this month, so I will let you know...hopefully.

Company was profitable this year, and my specific division ran a +50% margin, so I am hoping for a nice little hunk of change.

Got damn near $6k back on taxes. I think we need to stop loaning the fed so much money...

Do you find the presence (and structure) of your bonus plan having actual impact on your day to day work or overall performance?

I get a bonus for re-signing my contract

No. However, it does I think contribute to people cheerleading for the company to do well. Probably the biggest effect is on employee retention--we lose our bonuses if we leave before year end, and they tend to be a significant portion of our salary.

When I get a small bonus, I feel sad and demoralized. I try to work really hard, but it is hard to see my computer through the tears. When I get a big bonus, I am excited and energized. I come in to work weekends and stay late because I love to work in such a rewarding workplace.

 :D

I really don't want to talk about it.

I voted that I get a bonus based on the performance of the company, but technically it's based on neither personal performance nor company performance, but rather on the performance of the particular unit of the company I work for. 

It is invariably nothing.

No.

Since a huge chunk of my pay comes from it, certainly.

It also makes me extremely stressed, as it doesn't depend fully on my performance, so I can work my ass off and still get nada.

Boa niss oo?
This word is alien to me. I'd be happy with regular employment

I am not a salesman. Nothing I do will impact current earnings.

I get somewhere between 20% and 35% (the latter is what I got last year, about 25% of it in cash and the rest in deferred comp).

It only affects my performance in the sense that it keeps me from quitting sometimes. :lol:

Not at all.

The personal performance bonus doesn't seem to depend too much on your actual target achievement as long as you roughly achieve what was asked from you.

The company performance bonus is something I have zero influence on anyway and can just wait and see how much I get.

No bonus here.

And nowadays, your annual bonus take about 9 months to come to realization.  :P
