It's possible one gets a happier more dedicated workforce if there's a profit sharing bonus, but I don't see it should be obligatory. Workers get an agreed salary for their part in the success of the company. In a fair world the company wouldn't be overcharging for their product/service so there'd not be a significant pot of gold to divide up.

Companies are obliged, by law, to work in the interests of their shareholders. If employees want to benefit from the profits made by the company they should purchase shares in it. Otherwise basic contract law should apply, whereby the employee does the work that the employer expects from them and the employer pays them the agreed amount of money for doing so (and no more, irrespective of the fortunes of the company).

I note,since the election result, Tim Martin (Founder of Wetherspoons) has seen his share in the company leap to £44 million overnight. Good for him . A Staunch champion of Brexit.

I think it's lovely to get a bonus. At my last place of work, we always got a Christmas bonus which was very, very nice !

[emmie]

we always got a mid year bonuses and looked forward to it as it was a percentage of yearly pay so could and often did pay for a holiday.

[ummmm]

I ran a successful business. We paid our workers a decent basic wage and then after that it was all bonus. The better you are at your job the more money you earn.

[ummmm]

Wages day was a pain in the bottom though.

whether they should is up to them but we know it as a bonus and we get it every January, anything from 0 to $9m ( thats the CEO)
