Hi Community,

As the year comes to an end, my to-do list keeps growing! We've only started using Personio this year and are now facing a little challenge. Last year, we gave our hardworking helpers at the North Pole a Christmas gift to show appreciation for their amazing work. This year, we've decided to go a step further and pay a one-time Christmas bonus.

There are several reasons why weโ€™ve opted for a bonus - I think this Personio HR Lexicon article explains it perfectly! โœจ
ย 

Now, my question:ย 

How do I set up a one-time Christmas bonus of e.g. 1000โ‚ฌ in Personio? What options do I have?


Iโ€™d love to hear as many insights as possible! I hope the Community's collective wisdom can help me ensure that all our hardworking helpers receive a little something this holiday season!ย ๐ŸŽ

Best,
Your Community Holiday Elf

Welcome to Personio, Elfย ๐Ÿ˜€

If I were setting up a Christmas bonus, I would create a one-time compensation amount in the Salary tab, for December. Depending on access settings, Iโ€™d take in to account the fact that employees might be able to see their salaries and recurring/one time compensation...which might spoil the surprise!

Hey โ€‹@Community Holiday Elfย 

ย 

Depending on the number of employees that are receiving the bonus, you could either manually add the one time compensation or do it via an upload. as โ€‹@HRJoyย suggested, it may ruin the surprise, so I would prep an upload beforehand and upload it on the day the bonuses are paid to keep the surprise factor.ย

Merry Christmas!ย

Hi โ€‹@HRJoyย & โ€‹@People Personย 

thank you so much for sharing your comments! I also really appreciate you taking the surprise factor into account! ๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿ™Œ

From what I am getting is that I can either create a one time compensation or import the data? Besides the one time compensation solution - is there also another option to pay the bonus payments in Personio?ย 

I always like to double check everything so I am also curious if there is a way to check if I successfully paid all the Christmas payments to all employees?ย 

โ€‹@Nathan Jollyย โ€‹@nina.johanssonย โ€‹@Ruth HaRveyย โ€‹@Edda van der Endeย โ€‹@Vidaย Iโ€™d love to hear your insights too. ๐Ÿ˜‡
