end of year bonus - terms.
-
how does the bonus work?
Employees will accrue $1 for every ordinary* hour of work. This will then be tallied up and paid out during the 3rd week of January 2024.
NB: *ordinary hours are regular working hours that are not classified as overtime
example 1: Amy Smith works 30 ordinary hours in one week - Amy will be paid 30 hours x $1 = $30 to be paid as a bonus in the 3rd week of January 2024
example 2: Amy Smith works 30 ordinary hours, 1 hour of overtime 1.5 and 0.5 hours of double time - as the bonus is paid only on ordinary hours Amy would be paid a $30 bonus.
