Workers still expecting bonuses despite credit crunch Up to 84,000 workers in the UK expect to receive a bonus of £100,000 or more this year, despite the credit crunch, according to a new report.
Research from Investec Private Bank on employee rewards revealed that four out of ten employees in the UK expect to be handed a bonus of some kind this year even with the current uncertain economic climate.
Investec said: "In terms of how people intend to use their bonuses other than putting them into savings accounts, 27 per cent said that they would use it to go on a holiday and 22 per cent said that they would use it to clear debts."
The research, which was carried out in February, also revealed that 294,000 employees think that they will be picking up a bonus of between £50,000 and £100,000 at the end of this year.
Investec Private Bank has offices in London, the Channel Islands and Switzerland.
The Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) has said that the latest employment figures released by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) are continuing to "defy" other trends in the economy.
