How the bonus is calculated
The bonus consists of 50% of the salary with the highest monthly remuneration received by the worker in the corresponding semester. This is divided into two payments, the amounts of which are determined according to the salaries of each semester. In that sense, the first installment corresponds to half of the best salary between January and June, while the second corresponds to the same but between July and December.
Does the bonus correspond to me if I have been working for less than a year?
Yes, it corresponds collect the bonus if you have been working in a place for less than a year. However, in that case the formula changes, so these types of cases must be calculated as follows: (employee’s salary/12) x months worked.
With this calculation it will be possible to find out the amount of the December bonus. For example, if a person worked 3 of the 12 months and earns $100,000, the calculation would be:
($100,000/12) x 3 = $25,000
Likewise, those who terminate their employment relationship before either of the two installments are paid They must receive payment proportional to the months worked.
