She hasn't come back so it looks like she got stiffed. I hope she finds a new job with employers whom value her.

In my small business every employee receives an end-of-year bonus of one week 's pay nitnam employee whose performance is stellar gets a lot more than one week. So. Yes, a bonus is about performance.


Not necessarily; bonus isn’t an obligation, you give as you wish. I’m hoping she gets it, tho.

Maybe they are waiting for something financial -- they wait for their bonus, they sell their stocks for it, they wait for rent check on an investment property.... it may not be anything but they are waiting until they have that money to pay yours.

If OP doesn't receiveva bonus by Mid,-Drc
, She should start looking for a new gig because, obviously. These people no longer value her. If you can't afford a minimum Christmas bonus of a week's salary then you cannot afford a nanny.



A lot of people don’t know that a week salary is standard. Yes it’s appreciated but not mandatory


Of course they know but are too cheap.

I know this Christmas bonuses it's not something that a Family really has to give; but I have always been very grateful and lucky since all my former families in all my years as a Nanny; have gave me a great bonus; without me asking for anything.

So no worries, if they have seen such a great employers to do you, I'm guessing they will give you one for Christmas/New year eve. Whatever amount you get, be alwsys grateful about it. Good luck.

Question…I’ve been a nanny to the same family for over 6 years. They have always been very generous with an annual bonus. I received $1500 the first year I started ( worked for 5 months that year) and have received $2500 for the last 5 years. They have always given me this just before Thanksgiving. This year….nothing. Nothing has been said to me and it certainly isn’t my place to ask. I’m confused as nothing has changed and they thank me everyday for the days work. I guess I’m just a little surprised and confused…any advice or should I just forget about it as a bonus is just that…a bonus.
