The main fringe benefit in our company include the bonus, health insurance, allowance and so on. Nowadays many people consider bonus a form of salary. Of course, how many bonus you can get depends on your performance in the company. Traditionally, bonuses have depended on company performance. I think the bonus is actually a salary extension now. We always get a quite handsome bonus every month. That s amazing you ve got so much bonus. I need the bonus very much. My bank account s overdrawn. The boss said that he ll cut my bonus if I don t work harder. I ll buy my family a present when I get the bonus next week. Many shops have bargain sales during the bonus season. He quit his job just after he got his bonus. What is the bonus like at other companies? I don t think the bonus is something to get excited about. There re different fringe benefits in different companies and different countries. In our company we get our bonus at the end of the year. Being thrifty is not the same as being a miser. He likes to calculate people s salaries and bonuses. I ll pay for it in lump sum with my bonus money. If we offer the best rate of pay for the job, no one will turn around and say they re leaving because of money.
