? about a bonus

jen812

At the beginning of the school year, the director at the dance school announced that we would be getting a student retention bonus this year.

It basically works like this:

During September, October & November if no students drop out of my class, I would get a $50 bonus.  For each kid that drops, it's minus $5.

Well, it's now January & I haven't seen my bonus.  I teach 9 classes & had very few students drop.  That's a good chunk of cash.

At the end of November, early December I was on vacation.  The week after that, the director was on vacation.  The week she came back, she gave me a big Christmas bonus.

Now I feel ungrateful asking her about the other bonus even though it was already promised to us.

Would you speak up now or wait a little longer?

Are you sure that money wasnt included in the Xmas bonus?  Are there any other teachers where you can ask around about it?  I feel like if she discussed that everyone would be interested in it!

I'm pretty sure that money wasn't part of my Christmas bonus. It wouldn't have added up correctly. I did ask another teacher about the student bonus before Christmas & she didn't get hers either. She won't speak up though. I'm always the one who has to speak up on behalf of the entire staff. I hate that no one else will ever say anything.

I would speak up. If you wait too long, they may not honor it.

Well, if it were promised to you, then I would ask. When they told you about it, did the say when you would receive the bonus?  I mean, I would think it would be in December if they were looking at what the kids did through November. Do you guys have e-mail?  Maybe you could e-mail her?  For me that makes things easier to say. GL!!
