I'm hearing the bonus payout is 114%. Is that accurate?

Surplus folks can call payroll to get the gross amount. It’s available for them to see. Or just wait another couple of days.

Literally nothing? You seem to be a prime candidate to be let go. Seems weird to flaunt your ignorance

I was able to call in today and get an amount

So if you were the OP, please do tell what it was and/or how they explained to you how they arrived at that amount. P.S. No matter what it's called, the calculation method has remained the same. When I first started, it was called "at risk pay." And it has always been SalaryLevel percentagepercentage to target.

What baffles me is apparently this person only worked 5 months--ever for T? Like is this the first time ever he's gotten the success bonus? We're told every year what are success target is, and how to calculate it once the percentage to target is announced. Should be pretty easy to figure out what the prorated amount should be from there.

Among the 37 members of the OECD (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development), most of which are higher-income countries, the U.S. ranked 22nd in math achievement.

Let’s say that the target bonus percentage for your title was 11%.

Let’s say that your salary for the first two months in 2024 was 181,000 and it was 185,000 for the next 3 months.

2024 Bonus: 114%

Number of days in 2024: 366 (leap year)

Number of days with salary of $181,000 = 31 + 29 = 60

Number of days with salary of $185,000 = 31 + 30 + 31 = 92

Bonus = [ 181,000 x 60/366 + 185,000 x 92/366 ] x 0.11 x (114/100)

Your Math is really bad if you were in Software development, Engineering, IT, Accounting or Finance. If you were in a non-technical field then I would understand why you don’t know how to calculate the bonus amount.

Not correct. You need to know what your success target percentage is.

You were let go for a reason. You're a low performer. I wish a few of the people on my team were let go with you.

Hey to clarify. I was an employee who was surplussed may 31.

So the math for me would be 185000 (base) x (5/12) x .14 right?

No one can confirm when i call

Your supervisor/manager should have covered you on your bonus payout already. Like 3 weeks ago.
