    Wow, what an interesting question! I work for a small company as the accounts manager and this was an issue that came up this holiday. We had a hard time deciding what to do for bonuses this year, we have 3 new employees that had been there for less than 6 months, the other 3 had been there for over 2 years. However 1 always calls in sick, never works extra(like if there is more work or someone else calls in sick) and works less than 30 hrs a week. The other 2 are great and worth whatever we could afford to give. To make it fair the owner fo the company gave everyone the same amount, $200.00! May not be alot to some but the kicker is not ONE employee said thank you, not one! So i guess the answer really depends on the circumstances. I know he has no intentions to give a bonus next year.

    • I have a lot of respect for the employer who notes in the Employee/Personel Handbook how a bonus program works. I have only had one employer who did this and it went something like: 'Employee Bonus Program - Bonuses may or may not be awarded, depending on financial circumstances and the over all attitude of our staff. Our organization is as successful as our employees make it.' I don't remember exactly word for word, but it was several years ago and it made a good impression on me.

    • Amazing how much a simple 'thank you' can be worth. People seem to forget that in our selfish, self-centered culture.

    • What a shame that nobody took the time to show gratitude.
