Anyone else had a bonus this year? I've had a pay cut of £7k

[Griff9of13]

I (hopefully) get a bonus every 6 months - next due in March.

Not quite in that league though (even more so once Gidion has grabbed his bit large chunk).

I haven't received a bonus in 10 years, which is strangely the same length of time that I've worked for the NHS. Nor have I had a paid for Christmas party, or any other such benefit in that time either. I do however (before anyone else points it out) have a final salary pension to look forward to, assuming that is, that it will not have been withdrawn by the time I'm due to retire at 67 (2044).

Never had a pay cut.

Been made redundant three times.

Yes. He gets neglected regularly.

No better or worse than anyone else, or at least no different to anyone else using the hospital I work at. I try to avoid using the facilities though.

As it happens, my employer is very highly rated.

We get a 5% pay rise year on year and a yearly bonus which is usually around £2000. Who says "communism" doesn't work?

Hmm....any jobs going comrade?

[marklaspalmas]

I'm not paying myself a bonus this year (11th year running). Mind you, Im not thinking of sacking myself either so I should count my blessings. Things are tough in Spain.

Aye, why not. Cheers

[Bedford Roughyed]

Had a bonus in each of the last 4 years, even though one year we had a 0% payrise.

Not convinced our place is safe mind you, despite building new infrastrucure here.

Pay rise every year, but not on a payscale which automatically rises just based on length of service which I am reliably informed is not considered a pay rise in the NHS, even though it is.

That depends on your opinion, I view it as a pay rise.

There is however a limit to how far each pay scale goes, the increases don't keep coming forever unless you move to a job on a higher pay scale.

So it's not a common misconception then? My wife didn't seem to be able to get her head around why an arbitary pay increase without any requirement for performance was the same as a pay rise. Don't get me wrong I'd push for that where I work, because there are too many people in their 50's on WAY too much money for their role, but they have to have the same % increases as everyone else because that's the way our pay scale works.
