A bonus payment is usually made to employees in addition to their base salary as part of their wages or salary. For rank-and-file employees, clawbacks are less common but can apply to signing bonuses if the employee leaves before a specified period (often months).

Research consistently shows that bonuses below 5% of salary don&#8217;t change behavior significantly. The most common employee complaint about bonuses isn&#8217;t the amount.
