H works for a smallish company and gets 5% of his annual salary, scaled up or down according to company performance over the year. Last year it was 4.5%

:rotfl: that was my reaction too

we get a xmas party paid for by the company. in recent years, they've started doing a buffet lunch as well for everyone who works the last few shifts on the run up to christmas.

we do get an easter egg at easter though :EasterBun

Blimey, you lot don't get much do you?

Although my bosses are normally as tight as ducks ar55es, this year we are going to France for a day on a booze run and lunch, a days clay pigeon shooting and then a pub Christmas dinner on another day and probably a bit in my pay packet as i'm on profit share and we've done allright this year.
Oh and i get two weeks off.

My last Employer, AXA, gave us a christmas do and then a Bonus of around 12.5% annual salary.
I got £650 for being in the job for 5 months 2 years ago!! July to December, paid following March. Result.

My Employer before that gave us a Christmas meal out and £300.

Although i am a miserable git usually, i think i've done ok over the years.

First Christmas in new job. Work pays for us to go out for a Christmas lunch, in work's time. Get week off in between in additional to holiday entitlement.

Not bad but could do better.

Just started as a Virgin Vie Christmas Consultant so planning to pay myself a bonus. Two parties a week should earn me about £600 for Crimbo.

Just heard about an investment banker who will get a £2m bonus, where was investment banking on my careers advice from school?

Not sure how much hubby will get this year. last year it was a £50 cash bonus. This year the boss is talking about doing a works christmas do.

Hubby has saved his cash up from bonuses he has been due for a while so it should be a nice lump sum. He works on lorries & when they complete a lorry in a certain length of time they get a bonus for it. Hubby hasnt had his for 6 months so you never know I might even get a bonus from hubby for working so hard looking after the children.

Some places are more generous than others, aren't they!

My boss gives us £25 vouchers, and the company take us out for Christmas lunch/drinkies, usually somewhere quite expensive in London (this year at a nice veggie restaurant). We're allowed to have from around Dec 22nd off until Jan 4th ish without using our holiday allowance too.
