cash bonuses

Extra pay awards

Cash bonuses are monetary payments given to employees beyond their regular salary, typically as rewards for performance, retention incentives, or holiday gifts.

Unlike stock options or other non-cash compensation, cash bonuses are paid directly: The company distributed cash bonuses to all staff after a record quarter.

They're taxed as ordinary income.
