quarterly bonus

Seasonal work reward

A quarterly bonus is extra compensation paid to employees every three months, typically tied to performance metrics or company profits.

Unlike annual bonuses, the shorter cycle provides more frequent rewards and feedback: The sales team's quarterly bonus depends on hitting revenue targets.

Some companies guarantee a quarterly bonus as part of compensation packages; others treat it as discretionary.
