[quote=Anonymous]I work for a federal contractor.  I have worked at the same agency for 23 years and for 4 different employers.  Only 1 of those 4 employers ever gave bonuses.  The bonuses were tied to the contract bonus that the contract got for the semiannual review of the contract.  They shaved off a small portion of the contract bonus and then divided the contract staff into categories A/B/C.  Those that were either critical to the review (e.g. major accomplishments during that period), or were exceptionally critical employees or just one that did an exceptional job, got the highest bonus A, those who were good and earned good marks on their contract tasks got B and the run-of-the-mill employees got C.  C was usually around $250, B was usually around $500 and A ranged from $700 to about $1500 at the program manager's discretion (most were under $1000).  I worked for that employer for 7 years and got B and bottom A category bonuses (one year got a C for an off year).  My first employer (not the one who gave bonuses) did give holiday bonuses to all employees that were just gift certificates or gift cards to local stores.  These were between $20-$50.[/quote]
