I’m hourly and received a bonus (tech)
I can personally attest that hourly workers are bonus eligible, it’s position dependent. Has nothing to do with exempt/non-exempt.
I worked over 200 hours OT in 2024 and still received a bonus.
If you’re “bonus eligible” in the typical sense, you’d know. They’d have told you when you got hired.
Until last year I was hourly and always received a bonus while hourly.
All branch employees as well except tellers. They get quarterly bonuses
Some hourly employees are bonus eligible, but that would be in sales.
my guess is there are more bonus eligible exempt positions than bonus eligible non-exempt, but whether exemot or not doesn't determine bonus eligibility, it is the position itself.
Generally yes. If you get paid extra going over 40 hours a week, you are a non-exempt employee and do not get a bonus.
Exempt employees do not get paid extra when working over 40 hours a week and instead often receive bonuses.
That really depends on your definition of "bonus".
When I was hourly in tech there was an annual "bonus" we got every year, but it was only $300 and very easy to miss. Basically a couple of hours of overtime, and it felt more like an insult than a reward.
Yes. Hourly workers are not Bonus eligible
