cash bonus

Lump sum reward

A cash bonus is a one-time monetary payment given in addition to regular wages or salary, typically as a reward for performance, a signing incentive, or a holiday gift: The company gave everyone a cash bonus at year-end.

The term emphasizes that the bonus comes as actual money rather than stock options, gift cards, or other non-cash compensation.
