employee bonuses

Extra worker compensation

Employee bonuses are extra payments given to workers beyond their regular wages or salary, typically as rewards for good performance, meeting targets, or as part of profit-sharing arrangements.

Companies may offer annual bonuses, signing bonuses to attract new hires, or retention bonuses to keep valued employees from leaving.

Bonuses are often discretionary, meaning employers aren't obligated to pay them, though some are contractually guaranteed.
