A good Christmas bonus is one that reflects your company's appreciation for its employees. It should be in proportion to your level of compensation and reflect the financial success of the business. For example, a bonus of at least two weeks' pay would be appropriate for most employees. If you are an executive or manager, a larger bonus may be appropriate. Additionally, it is important to consider the timing of your bonus. A bonus given at the end of the year is generally more appreciated than one given earlier in the year.
