Of 5,184 employees surveyed, 92 percent said they received a year-end bonus for 2016, with 55.7 percent of them being offered over 10,000 yuan (USD 1,455), while 10 percent reported amounts of more than 50,000 yuan (USD 7,275).

 

一份针对5184名员工的调查显示，92%的人收到了2016年终奖，55.7%的人年终奖超过一万元（1455美元），10%的人年终奖超过五万元（7275美元）。

 

The new survey was released by 51jingying.com, a job search website in China, reports Nanjing Morning Post.

 

Bonuses fluctuate depending on the economy and the year's performance. Given the performances of some industries last year, bonus amounts were not substantial for many workers.

 

"I received a 300 thousand yuan (USD 43,650) year-end bonus last year. As the market changed in 2016, this year's bonus might only be 120 thousand yuan (17,460), far less than that of last year." said a manager surnamed Sun, who has worked for 15 years in a securities company.

 

Many people in the banking¹ sector² reported reduced bonuses, or even no extra year-end cash. "In fact, two years ago, salaries for our bank staff, from leaders to clerks, began shrinking," said a department leader at a commercial bank in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province. 

 

However, some internet companies offer substantial bonuses. Momo, a company that provides a free instant messaging service, gave each employee 25,000 yuan (USD 3,637) after its yearly meeting, but have apparently³ been told the money is not the final total for their year-end bonuses.
