While most workers don't expect to get a little extra something from their bosses this year, many companies are, in fact, doling out holiday bonuses.
Of 368 human resource professionals and executives surveyed in Bloomberg BNA's annual Year End-Holiday Practices survey, 42 percent said that they planned to give end-of-year bonuses, with most employers opting for cash over gifts. After a small dip during the recession, that number has stayed consistent over the past four years. In fact, over the past three decades, the share of companies offering holiday cash bonuses has steadily increased from about 10 percent in 1978 to around 30 percent this year.
