Question Is it appropriate to send a thank you note for a year end bonus. This is not a formal part of the compensation package. And , although the owner of our company does this every year, the timing and amount are not formalized. My instinct is to send a written thanks but I'm not entirely sure if that's right.
Answer Mr. Guimot,
It is not always customary to send a thank you note for holiday bonus. However, when working for a small to midsize business that has a more intimate setting I would recommend sending a handwritten note regarding the thoughtful gesture. Upon receipt of bonus, forward your thanks. Have a great holiday!
