Template Email Dear Employee Name, I am pleased to inform you that you are eligible for a performance bonus based on your exceptional performance during the evaluation period. We are happy to have you on board because your efforts, devotion, and contributions have been crucial to our team's success.
Be honest and don't lie and say bonuses are coming back. Tell them what your needs are and communicate with upper management to see what can be improved to ensure they potentially can get these back. Basically if you believe in what you're doing, then keep doing it and others will too.
Announce the bonus After you address your recipient, try to immediately explain why you're writing them a letter. Notify them that they're receiving a bonus and give a brief reason why. For example, if this bonus is for a particular achievement you can mention the specific action or project.
Set the Right Tone: Approach the conversation with empathy and clarity, recognizing the emotional impact on the employee. Communicate Transparently: Clearly explain the reasons for the bonus outcomes, focusing on the factors that influenced the decision. Listen and Support: Be prepared for various reactions.
How to write a bonus request letter Draft the structure of your letter. State why you're requesting the bonus. Provide evidence for why you're requesting the bonus. Invite the supervisor to discuss the bonus with you further. Proofread your letter before you deliver it.
Thank you so much for my performance bonus. I really appreciate your generosity and having my hard work acknowledged. I feel so fortunate to work for a company that encourages its employees to keep meeting new goals and gives them the support and tools to do so.
