I got £50 cash then £300 extra in my pay which got taxed. So not brilliant really but better than nothing.

My dad left some quality streets in the office but the bastards eaten all of them except the orange creams.

He did let me put another bar on the fire though.

But only for 20 minutes.

our company has started splitting our christmas bonus so we now get £870 cash (probably half that after the tax mans had his share) and £530 vouchers (asda) which you dont get taxed on i think

edit: we also get a £10 woolworths voucher for each child under 11

Well done mate!!

Here's a suggestion... Have you thought about getting your employer to donate the gross salary, that way you wont get taxed on it, so they will get more....

yup more for the same job is great! i work for CNR and they are the only company that pay day on and day off the rig. Means at least 1 extra day rate per month

As for xmas bonus...we get nothing.

In all the years i worked for a main dealer i never got a fooking penny

For the last 2 yrs i have been working for a small independent garage and am appreciated far more for my efforts and treated very well i would say as never have to pay for my mot's ( prob had around a dozen this past year so saved me around 400 odd quid ) and boss sometimes gives me his fuel card to use to fill up my car

Also get to use the garage anytime i want to do homers and work on my own cars and can use any of the breakdown wagons whenever i need to.

Xmas bonus this year was an extra weeks wage and 40 quid cash so cant complain to much even though i paid a shit load of tax and nat ins out of that.

We had messengers dropping in with gifts for our consults all week but the real staff havent had any at all.

I doubt our boss will remember to give us anything at all.

The employees of the company that we rent the property from all got £7500 in bonus.
