BONUS Meaning and Definition

  1. A bonus is an additional payment, benefit, or reward that is given to an individual in addition to their regular payment or salary, typically as a means of recognition or appreciation for their performance or contribution to a particular task, project, or job. It is a form of incentive provided by employers to motivate and encourage employees to work harder or achieve certain goals or targets.

    Bonuses can be granted to employees either in the form of cash or non-cash rewards. Cash bonuses are usually paid as a lump sum or in installments and are included in the employee's salary. Non-cash bonuses may include perks like gift cards, vacations, stock options, or other types of incentives that provide value to the employee.

    Bonuses can be discretionary, meaning they are given at the employer's discretion, or they can be part of a predetermined bonus structure. In organizations with a bonus structure, criteria for earning a bonus may be based on individual performance, team performance, or the overall performance and success of the company.

    Bonuses are often seen as an effective way to motivate employees, increase productivity, and boost morale. They serve as a recognition and appreciation of an individual's hard work, dedication, and achievement. However, it is important for employers to have clear and transparent bonus policies to ensure fairness and avoid potential conflicts or disputes.

  2. A premium for a loan; a consideration for some service done; an extra dividend to shareholders; a division of the profits of an assurance office to its policy-holders.
