I didn't get a Christmas bonus this year, they haven't let us know we won't be getting one either.



Listen to the tax man's a good web site. It may be that your bonus has knocked you into the higher band tax rate for the month so you've paid more tax and NI.

Apologies for going slightly off topic, I had to smile at that.

I work for one of the largest veterinary groups in the UK, and for the past 8 years my Christmas bonus has consisted of a £25 shopping voucher.

It shouldn’t happen to a vet lol.

I'm a nurse, never got more than a £10 voucher and many years just a night shift! :rotfl:

We're clearly in the wrong businesses.

Lol I work for Local Government- not even a tub of sweets! Not that I'm jealous, I am genuinely curious, sorry, nosey, at what others do for a living!

Other peoples bonuses they get are not relevent to the OP's question

I got a Xmas bonus of £1000 / wte after tax / NI , it was paid the same to all employees so ultimately a much greater percentage of a lower paid employees salary than the higher paid. Mighty confusing payslip as they wanted to make sure we got the amount after tax / NI so the actual amount was different for everyone to take account of assorted tax codes etc

My firm used to give the majority of the year’s pay as a discretionary bonus at year-end. It allowed them to share out the profits in a good year but not need to lay people off in a bad one.

EU rules have banned this now, so we’ve lost a lot of the flexibility.

The public always seemed outraged at the amounts involved, too, especially those who would normally be the first to advocate workers keeping a greater share of the value of their labour.

Beats my Christmas bonus of £0.00

Me too, no bonus at all, only a small gift (choose from a box of chocolate OR bottle of sparkling wine). Waiting for pay raise in Jan, if there is one...
