A Bonus is monetary remuneration that goes above and beyond the recipient's typical payment expectations. Companies may give incentives to both entry-level workers and top executives. While incentives are generally awarded to great employees, businesses may sometimes pay out bonuses to all employees to avoid employee envy. Entry-level workers may receive bonuses for meeting certain goals or milestones, such as perfect attendance for a certain period of time or successfully completing a training program. Top executives may receive bonuses as an incentive to stay with the company, meet specific goals or increase company profits.Bonuses are often paid out in cash, but they may also be awarded in the form of stocks, shares or other company assets.
