How to pay a bonus partially

A bonus is an extra amount of money added to an employee's salary as a reward. How much to pay and whether to pay it in full or in part is up to the employer.

There are situations where an employer may choose to pay a partial bonus — for example, when an employee meets only part of the performance metrics or when the company’s financial performance doesn’t meet expectations.
