annual bonuses

Once-yearly extra pay

Annual bonuses are extra payments employers give workers once a year, typically tied to company performance, individual achievement, or both.

They're common in corporate and sales environments, often paid at year-end or after fiscal results are tallied: She's counting on her annual bonus to pay off the car.

The amount may be guaranteed or discretionary.
